how low do you have them set to and what size wheel/tire combo do you have?
I just installed mine and have yet to run into any problems.

well sorry for being off-topic on here! But i wanted to know how they feel! I currently have hotchkis springs with stock shocks and wanted to get coilovers by the summer. Is it a soft ride and can yall feel alot of the little bumps in the road? How do they handle? Thanks!

the coilovers feels good but its a little hard... u can feel the big bumps on the road but wen it comes to everything else its like drivin wit ur stock suspension.. the handling is terrific :D it tucks every turn wit eaze

^^you will feel every single bump in the road. It isn't bouncy it's very smooth, but it is deffinatly not a "comfort"suspension if there is a crack in the road you KNOW there was a crack in the road. But the handling is sooo good! For comfort i would recommend a coilover with a slightly softer spring rate but that is just my opinion.
