What did you do to lower it? Springs, shocks/struts/ control arms, camber plates, etc.? How much did you lower it? Did you trim the bump stops / use the bump stops? Have you aligned it yet?

I lowered it with springs from dropzone.com it is comming from the front. I forgot to take the rubber sleave off of the old springs and put them on the new one. could this be it ? So do I need to tighting the struts. Will that make the front sit a little higher the back ?

yes i guess so. They're on the bottom of the spring. Go back and make sure everything is tight and stuff.

I lowered mine with steeda sport springs,put in all new isolaters.Installed blistein shocks struts and quads.Also put in steeda c/c plates.Mine pops too..It comes from the back and front just not all the time.Everything seems fine though besides the popping.All bolts are tight and everything looks good.Maybe this is normal?Oh yea I also changed the upper and lower cont arms with the BBK kit.

Click to expand...

Steeda X2 ball joints will drop your front some more if you don't use the spacer plates that come with them.

same problem here

i lowered my 94 with a set of eibach 2 in front and i have a popping noise as well. what i thought it could be was the sway bar changing position inside the bushing, i know that sounds weird but take some silicone lubricant and spray the sway bar bushings and see if it goes away.
