the whistles go whooo!!!1

Car: Scion Doorstop
 
 
BeQuietAndDrive is an unknown quantity at this point: 643
Just installed my Koni's and Eibach's.

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

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

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?

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