Just installed my Koni's and Eibach's.

[BeQuietAndDrive]

All I can say is WOW. The car is so much more agile and responsive now. I have the Koni's set to full stuff but I may back down a bit as the ride is a little bouncy at times. Would that help out?

Next up is wheels and tires :P

If it's "bouncy", you need to stiffen the shocks. If it's "rough", yes, going softer on the shocks will help.

[BeQuietAndDrive]

Hmm..well, the shocks are set at full stiff front and rear. I'll play around with them anyway just to see if it makes a difference.

Also, During hard cornering, I can distinctly hear a kind of "metal rubbing on metal" sound, almost like a creaking door. Any clues?

[Leonard]

get under the car and retorque everything.

[Muddy]

get an alignment, as well.

if retorquing everything doesn't fix this i'd check to make sure the springs are seated correctly in the struts.
