I recently sent my car off for what I mistakenly thought was going to be a relatively short and simple suspension refresh. Pss 10 coil overs, a mix of delrin and solid bushings for the subframe and rear suspension, and the rear subframe reinforcements. I ended up buying a new diff because the original had worn through the hardened on the spider gear and ring and there was some poorly done repairs from damage to the right rear where the control arm connected. As well as replacing the front control arms and toe links. But that's beside the point.
I had my car in for adjustments and oil changes after driving for a few hundred miles. The right front spring had been making noise on major steering input and hard braking. When we pulled everything out the little plastic spacer bushings bullshit that came with the kit was already pretty chewed up by the spring. We put in thrust bearings on both sides to stop that. I'm still getting noise, less noise, bit still noise, on major low speed steering inputs and heavy braking. Do any of you have experience with this happening, what did you do to fix it?
Also, the guy who did the work fabricated upper spring perches for the front springs out of the old spring perches. With those, the max drop we can get, by taking off the lock ring and milling into the top adjustment ring holding pins is less than an inch from stock. I know not everyone is using bilsteins but it seems like I should be able to achieve more drop than that. I have camber/caster plates on the car and the modified stock spring perches. Modified perches are essentially these https://3a663eb0fef48c6d2d60-a88f8eb...29956_x800.jpg
