is part number 34-120, bushing that sits on top, necessary with coil overs?





also, just switched my rear coil overs to a set of eibach springs and illuminas. maybe the ride will be a lil more comfortable and less rattly....well see.







martin, the extra springs are eibachs not stock like i thought.



i might have either or for sale soon....

are you talking about the rubber peice with 3 bolts protruding thru it? If so, most C/O kits replace that part.

yeah, treceb, that's the peice i was taking about... the part that actually bolts to the upper strut tower. Don't need it with most C/O kits.

wut da hell, u asked me why i didnt have them in the front once??



the ride is much better with teh eibachs and illuminas. not night and day different but noticeable. the "landings" are not as abrupt as before. im start looking for lower spring rate springs for the HKSs.



however the clunking is still present, albeit not as loud.

yup, i believe theyre at teh softest setting. however i might be wrong...need to find cause of cluncking sound. i mean i dont mind, except when ppl are like "wow whats that, sounds like your car is falling apart..."



ill put them back on in a month or so and then sell the eibachs. cheap.
