Suspension question. Stasis Tracksport Rear Passenger side clicking noise...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/75881/new_stance_001.jpg"></center><p>I recently installed my tracksports and I got everything on and took it for a drive and drove it 2 days. Perfect, absolutely no sounds whatsoever and the car handled like a dream. It still handles like a dream, but I adjusted the back down another couple turns on both sides, and now the back right clicks when I hit every little bump. I press down on the rear passenger side of teh car an I can hear the click loud and clear. I took off the wheel, tightened all the bolts, and checked everything and I cannot seem to figure it out. The Uppper Spring perch is seated correctly and this sound was not happening yesterday. All I can think of is that the back shocks only have about 1/4" thread left until all the way low, yet my car still sits at 25 6/8 rear. Maybe if I raise it back up in the rear, the click will go away>? Let me know please sounds liek a bolt that is loose and it clicks when you go over bumps or compress teh suspension, kinda like it needs a washer or something.

on a side note, you can lower the rear perch like 10 turns past the last visible thread...
but on to the pressing issue. What did you do literally between when it was perfect, and when it started making noise?
Just lift the corner and lower the spring perch?

What I do..
If you can duplicate the noise with the car on the ground, then substitute a jack stand in place of the offending wheel. This way you can push and, and watch the spring compressing, and see if you can identify the binding.
