Hi all, ive just had a new suspension kit fitted, the FK supertec kit, with a 60/40 drop. It looks and handles great, but ive got an awful knocking noise coming from the front left corner. Wondered whether something was just catching like the exhaust, although it sounds worse than this. It sort of crashes over bumps, sounds almost like something is loose! Sounds similar to when the top mount on my saxo snapped in half, anyone had any problems with them on corsas? Any help would be much appreciated, car is near on undrivable at the mo. cheers! Phil

do the FK kits come with bump stops already installed? not sure it is this though, i mean, it happens not only after big bumps, but over smaller ones too! Would these kits come with new top mounts or would they have reused the old ones?

looking at the car too, the left hand side is 15-20mm lower! and with the bonnet up, can hear the knocking/clunking sound is coming from the top of the suspension unit! This give any more clues to what might be up?

yeah its probably ure bumpstops thinking about it now mate, as i mentioned in the last u2u, make sure they fitted them and also trimmed them if they used the originals... they probably forgot to fit them or they may have aligned ure spring wrong
