WOOT<img src="https://i.imgur.com/ZcpYxDb.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Adjusted the coilovers to a tad bit lower than the ride height I had before. Just wanted to get it done for now and driveable and didn't want to mess with "how low can I go before shit gets ripped out from under my car?"<img src="https://i.imgur.com/HJvQ2ER.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />It drove beautifully to work, with the exception of what sounds like the springs binding up when you start approaching full lock. Not sure what is causing that, as the wheel definitely is not contacting the springs at any point now, I am thinking maybe the top hats aren't spinning properly? Not really sure about it but I am also not super worried about it at the moment.Other than that no suspension noise, handles bumps great. I stuck the stiffer springs in so it is a bit rough but way better than bottoming out my exhaust everytime I hit a bump! It feels like a totally different car, it feels faster now that the power is getting put down without the axle play that was caused by that control arm that wasn't bolted in... Way more confidence inspiring aswell.After work however, turned the car on, radio turns on normally, phone connects via bluetooth, I open my music app, and no sound???went through the settings, tried AM/FM, reset the head unit to factory defaults, nothing. No music, no beep tones, nothing. It was working just fine on my way to work, so I am not sure what thats about. Especially after literally just sitting for about 9 hours and then just suddenly not working?? I made sure it wasnt muted and tried turning the car off and on, the head unit seperately etc. I have no idea what to even check other than maybe the wiring harness behind the head unit. But if the head unit is working fine otherwise I doubt it would be a fuse or something...Anyways got home and also noticed that when parked the steering is VERY heavy.. I didn't notice it before between the test drive last night or driving to work so I am pretty sure this is a new development. I took a peak underneath and just about cried when I saw my control arm and tierod end angles. Even with rack offset bushings and the bumpsteer kit (which isnt maxed out I have 2 small spacers left to toss on top of the knuckle) the angle is horrendous... Not sure how to solve that. Maybe x2 ball joints but even then the angle would be rough right? Does anyone elses angles look similar?<img src="https://i.imgur.com/fhYAECc.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/YzD8syJ.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/MIFVnv5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The balljoint looks like its pushing it aswell<img src="https://i.imgur.com/aVoX9CU.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />ALSO the new anti rattle clips and new pins I put in my front calipers definitely quieted the front calipers up! that $20 kit saved me from replacing the front pads and rotors because that was next on the list even though they have tons of life left in them, theyre borderline brand new when I got the car</blockquote>
