yea mine clunk occasionally.

although the more noticable noise now is the ingalls control arm tapping the inner portion of the shock tower. i cant really do much about it other than take a hammer and try to pound it out a bit or just let it keep hitting. its worse during city driving on all the roads with little bumps here and there. on the freeway its not too bad.

do the tein helper springs raise teh car AT ALL? im not trying to go any higher but if the helper spring will allow me to stay at this exact height, im all for it.

yeah, theyll raise it, but only as high as the helper spring is when its fully compressed. so youd have to lower the perches if you got them and wanted to be at the height youre at now.

bummer, going lower would literally be impossible for me because the rears are spun all the way down and the fronts have 1 perch removed already so its fully maxed out. i know if i went with OEM top hats in the front, i could get another .25-3 inch drop but i tried that and the tein spring doesnt fit right with the OEM top and theres way too much movement so i nixed the idea and kept my pillowball top hats. i dont know if the real Tein SS has different shaped springs that are as wide as the OEM springs are or not but i know for sure that the springs on my SS-Ps are cylindrical and are nowhere close to OEM diameter on top.

Have you looked at going with shorter springs from Tein? I have the basics and I had mine all the way down but it wasn't low enough so I called Tein and asked about there standard springs you can get the tapered or striaght ones they can tell you which you need, my springs were 10in uncompressed and only 7kg, I ordered the 8in ones with a 9kg rate per there advice, so far they have been great, just throwing that out there if you still have the spring that came with the Tein-ss's you may be able to get something stiffer and shorter, check there site. Hoped this helps ya. O and ur car looks great I love those wheels on anything.
