hey guys, I've had my H&R coilover installed
for 6 months already, but I've discovered that there is some Clinking sound when I go on some bumps and some small curves...

did u guys know is that normal or not? Since when I go hard on cornerings, it doesn't have any sounds...maybe H&R is too low?

I have the same problem and am getting it fixed this week. It's the sway bar link and bolt that are clicking against each other. Mine are stripped completely.. probably because the asses that installed my springs/shocks didn't tighten the bolts enough.

It could be the bolt that holds the top upper bolt in the back. May just need tightening. Could be a totally blown shock...or could be a sway bar mount. Could even be the uplink arm on the sway bar.
