Started out with just the H&R Race springs and was going to add Strange shocks but got a good deal on new Koni STR.Ts. Full setup includes STR.Ts, GT500 mounts, H&R Race Springs and BMR Panhard. Handles pretty good, cant really comment much on that as the stock 235 tires wont let me attempt to throw it around they just break loose. LOVE the ride quality and the stance. Thinking of 18x10/18x11 CCW Classics.. Couple pics from today.

A lowering does wonders for these cars in the look dept.

I've got a pair of BMR relocation brackets in the garage if you're interested.

Anyone have an idea of what to check? See below

Under nose dive braking and some bumps I get some slight noise, can feel it more than here it. I torqued everything to spec, unless the Nut on the actual struts isn't all the way tight. Used a 200 ft lb electric tq wrench and went back and checked the tq after.

You will get some noise here and there with aftermarket stuff. You did keep the ISO's on the springs right? Mine doesn't make much noise in the front but will if I hit it just right. Mostly, my noise comes from the rear sway I think. I need to check it.

Yep kept iso. My 2012 with bmr springs, steeda pro actions, and panhard made no noise.

I am reallly really considering these shocks/struts as I have just about had it with my stock ones. Yes I know, should have upgraded them when I first did the springs. Considering I don't drag my car much I feel these would be a great middle ground shock/strut for me as I am just trying to get some ride quality back.

Ive only got maybe 20miles on them. So far I really enjoy the quality cant throw into any corners though the stock 235s give quick. I will give a good review with some more miles

I had the same issue with adjustable PHB. It had loosened up. A little loktite and retightened sorted that out.

Little too low for my taste. I will probally go with the Ford Racing P springs or Eibach Pros.
