Problem: When I stop quickly or abruptly at low speeds, I hear a slight knock and my suspension feels strange, almost like something is loose.

Setup: Koni SP2 Yellow sport shocks, Ground control coilover sleeves with 430f 350r spring rates, Skunk2 front Pro UCA's and rear Skunk2 UCA's for camber kits.

Everything is aligned as of 2 weeks ago.

Possible answer to problem: When stopping, the coilover sleeve is moving and knocking its top against the shock tower. The sleeve is only contacting the shock body by a 2cm plastic insert (koni specific, by ground control), so this makes some sense, although sketchy.

Possible solution to possible problem: Fill the 1cm space between the sleeves and shocks with silicon, expanding foam, electrical tape (which would require removal of shocks -- not an option at this time), or something else. I'm a poor college student, so I don't want to have to get another alignment.


Any other ideas?

Talk to someone at ground control and tell them about your problem and ask them what they're gonna do for you?

hmm. i checked them out, and they were completely solid, so thats not the problem.

However, i noticed rub marks from the UCA's on the front and back on the inside of the shock tower... i guess im too slammed! I'll have to raise it up a bit to fix the problem.
