My car has been making some popping noise from the front right side. I took it to the dealer but they said since i altered the suspension they can't fix it due to the fact that it is suspension related. I have eibachs and they have been fine for the past like 10,000 miles. I was wondering if any one has had this problem before and if there is a simple fix. The noise happens when i left off the gas and hit it again, or when im front a stop getting going again. Any info would be appreciated.

the lancer seem to have problem with being lowered. i know couple of people with eibach that have some issue. i own Progress Spring and they are the worst spring ever.

loud popping, like a giant Snapple cap, means the spring was installed upside down. Yep, sorry to break it to ya. Had to take my suspension apart after 4 hours of breakdown and rebuild to flip the springs. The second time it only took 15 mintues

If you went over a big bump, you may have moved the spring in the perch so it's not sitting right anymore.

Progress springs are not "the worst" ever, they simply need something placed between the very top first and the very bottom first coil to suppress the "clang" that happens since the springs compress and hit each other. I have 2 small 3 inch pieces of clear rubber tubing where they touch and I have no noise now.
