Hey guys, I finally picked up some wheels I wanted. I stuck those coil overs most of you told me not to and I lowered it like 1 1/2 IN or maybe more. They weren't as bad as most of the people said they would be, ride is OK tolerable needs a little more adjusting but ok.

But only thing i noticed wrong is my rear wheel is chirping SOMETIMES, (Not sure which but i think its the right rear wheel.) When I make right turns. Didn't before. .

Is this due to stiffer suspension/ traction, or something. Anyone notice this when lowering there cars or adding coil overs?

I am running to different tires treads on the rear of the car. car has an open differential. I have not yet got an alignment.

Thanks just wanna know if anyone ever experience this? a

ill get some pictures up tomorrow for you all to enjoy. car looks good

lol thanks, but i don't think there's anything wrong with what i just did, shocks aren't blown its not beating me up either, and no strange noises or vibrations. i don't need a 1500 suspension on my car.

No welded diff, stock open diff

It's fine. It's the coilovers that are chirping. You need to grease up the springs. I'm assuming your running Megans judging by the negative attitude...

Read through this and you will fix the problem. http://forums.evolutionm.net/e....html

A tire is probably rubbing the fender.
