Recently, I replaced my shocks and springs with eibach sportlines and kyb agx shocks. It looks pretty ill except for the front is a little higher than the rear. Hopefully, the front will settle in and lower a little bit eventually. Anyways, the rear shocks make an awful lot of noise when i go over bumps. The ride seems fine, but it sounds like air is escaping from the shocks every time they go up and down. I realize that they are gas shocks, though i am not exactly sure what that means, and I was just wondering if this is normal or not??

thanks in advance

it's normal...

and about lowering the car, i lowered my previous car, and it had the same effect back lower then the front, but what i notice is that the front Wheel well is actually bigger then the backs...

could it be the same with our cars??? is just a visual effect

yea I noticed my front wheel well looks like its got a little more space in it. - I don't like it, but i heard the rear is adjustable by stock. who knew? and better....who knows how to adjust them if this be true, maybe a solution to the problem.

pS. I'VE SEEN THIS 240 THAT LIVES NEAR ME WHO HAS 'NOSTRADOMUS' HEADLINING HIS WINDSHIELD, IF HE READS THIS I WANT AN EXPLANATION, (u know who u r) and an explanation on his whale tail - tacky. but i don't hate, i just think its cheaper looking than having canned foam cheese on thanksgiving.
