I installed a set of granatelli drag coil overs along with lakewood 90/10 struts everything is fine except when i hit a bump in the road, the coil overs make a clicking noise. I was wondering if any of you have ran across this and have any solutions. I called granatelli and they told me there was nothing you can do about it, they are ment to be driven on a drag strip and not on the street.
There has to be something to cure this.
Thanks

My UPR kit did the same when I put them on.

I had the ride hight set on the low side and there wasn't much tention on the spring, so when i would hit a bump and the suspesion would raise the spring would float between the the top and lower mounts.

Try raising the car a little to get more tension on the springs, just enough so when the strut exstend up there is still tension on the spring at full travel.
