Maybe just shitty springs that buckle under the wrong pressure.

I remember someone told me (gemivanman, grey td van) told me the same thing happened with his when he got some springs from a dodgy place.

Take em back anyway.

Unless u got like a 3.8 v6 in your car then maybe you need some stiffer springs for the front Smile

thanks, the guy from autobarn put in the correct ones as the back on but it only dropped 10mm which made the car level. but what he did wrong was got SUPERLOWS and put them on the front to drop it to 30mm at front and 30mm at back. so i am running SUPERLOWS on the front and LOW ont he back. kings springs are great though

hahahah u scored a mum thats pretty dero! hope for ur sake she didnt look like mine! but anyway, size up a skock gemy, i think they ride 30mm lower in the front straight from the factory, u have to get the rear lowered further, rear springs are piss easy to get out, just pull em out and cut a quarter turn off the end. thats what i did after i lowered my tg with heavy springs
