~What a amazing done by Jesse (Owner) and Me~
*Keep in mind, this is risky job.. If you wanna do it and mess up from you, this is not our fault*
YEsterday, My buddy JEsse texted me about he wanna lower a little more after He got the new rims.. So we lower the car but we wanna do the fender modification first.. WE use heat gun and 4x4 wood with towel cover to prevent paint scratch... So after we done doing the modification on front and rear fender.. Then we lower the car about 1 inches more... IT look awesome to me.. I told him take a ride and see what the after result.. He told me the front upper control arm keep hitting upper shell where the control arm at... I told him "hey let go buy hole saw"..
Today, He went to Home Depot to buy hole saws and couple other tools need to use for cutting... He and I use power drill with hole saw and wanna drill other metal part (practice cutting the hole).. WE did practice and went well.. I told Jesse to be careful drill the hole for not messing up.. So we did all the work and then lower the car.. WE take a ride and BAM no more hitting noise at all. We finally happy did all the work.. Boy, Im damn ****ing tire but IM glad I learn what we done to the car... :wrench:
:cheer:

My guess is that they were trying to find the center. Wouldn't want to drill one hole and not have it lined up with the upper control arm's joint. Easier way is to move the upper control arm up, mark the general area, and drill from below (make one hole). Then go drill the big hole from up top.

^ you cant miss it hey. its like a bang, sounds like something bottoming out.
mine did it once when i had a passenger and the road had a big upward dip, and used to always do it when i first put my coilovers in and had them quite soft over a dip in the road on the freeway (around 100ish KM/H). There is a certain bend i go round too and if i go any faster than about 60km/h it bangs on the right hand side as there is a dip mid-corner.
iv now lessened the pre-load on my coilovers so im worried it may come back now more often, so ive been gradually increasing my damper settings every day since last week!
