Hi guys,

Anyone here replaced their shocks with Bilstein B4 OE replacements? I changed all 4 corners on my car and the car sits noticeably higher in the front now. Pretty ugly to look at. It's been about a week installed and driving around and hasn't changed much. I only changed the shocks, reused the original springs, spring perches/mounts, top strut mount as they were all in like new condition.

Also, having a creaking noise from front left, I'm guessing it's a bushing somewhere? Can't pin point it. I've gone through the suspension on this car so many times now I've lost count. I've replaced bushings in the control arms, ball joints are all super tight like new, all bolts were tightened at ride height, and still, the creaking! Also a weird noise from the car when accelerating from low speed, very very strange, never heard it on another car. I can't even describe it.

Thanks

Just changing the shocks will not change the ride height/rake.

Agree, sounds like he didn't put something back together correctly.
