That's you bottoming out from being so low is all. The UCA is hitting the top of the shock tower.

Nice drop. I wouldnt doubt that these can slam the GS. Had my mind on these but settled for a slightly used set of Stance...yet to put them on.

nice drop...i have the same coils and had to raise the car 2 inches all around because of my body kit...i set the dampening on full soft front and rear because there's a lot of road construction where i live.

They're pretty soft. Even on full stuff they don't seem that stiff. I have mine set to full stiff and it's not that bad.

Stance > Megan EZ. You made the right choice. Stance is great, rides stock and slams to no end.

They're great aren't they? I'm also on EZ's but plan on upgrading to something a lot stiffer in the near future.
