I have had my S13 for about a year now at stock stance, I don't drive it much and I was tired of stock height so I bought a lowering spring kit off ebay and put it on. When I make sharp turns going really slow to the left or right both front springs pop and they will pull that way til I unpop them by going the opposite way til it pops again. I was wondering if anyone could help me find the solution to the popping?

first mistake^^^ haha. Kidding. Its probably your springs binding up and popping. It isnt harmful per se, it happens with cheap coilovers as well. One solution is to put grease under and on top of the springs where they sit on the struts, But this isn't a permanent solution.

Haha yeah, I know it is a waste to spend on cheap coils, I just don't have the money at the moment for decent coils and stock height is a killer to look out your window at everyday. :P

I'm gonna try to grease them up, thanks for the reply man.
