I'm on H&R springs and my car is pretty low.
Not everyone wants the harsh ride of high spring rates you get associated with coilovers, nor has the money to drop on expensive coilovers that do yeild a decent ride for street.
I'm assuming he didn't preload properly or perhaps even got some Tein knock-offs.
Try loosening the bolts again and drive around the block. Come back and tighten it up.
My method of preloading is to loosen the arms, drive onto the alignment rack and jounce the suspension several times before re-tightening the arms. Works like a champ!
Alternatively, putting a floor jack under the knuckle and re-tightening is the most practical solution.

I was going into a parking lot tonight, at an angle of course, and one of my tires went over a manhole and started spinning and got stuck. Then I realized that my wheels were locked against the frame cause of my stupid amounts of width up front. Had to really gas is to get off that manhole, traction control and wheel hop all kinds.
I think my alignment is wonky now lol

I find some models, but are unviable for cost reasons :
Adv1 05.1
Prodrive GC-05k
Vossen VVSCV5
HRE P47SC

xxr 522, they do make them in 17's yes. Just know that the smaller sizes aren't as wide so they wont be as concave.
Maybe if you sold your wheels to me a while ago this wouldn't have happened. LOL... totally kidding. That sucks man, hope you didnt bend a lower control arm
seen your car around online, looks real good man! I need FEED sides
Whats the next setup gonna be?

I thought about going x11's but decided not to cause, from my understanding of wheels, I can get bigger lips on a x10 and lower offset. And my buddy is hooking me up with equips for cheap.
I'm asking 200 for the sides. No serious cracks or scratches or anything like that. Paint is perfect. too bad your car isn't white lol

Lol. There's so much off topic banter in this thread it's sick.
Everyone wants to be Mr. Badass behind a keyboard and pick apart posts to "one-up" someone. Soooo childish.
But I chuckled at your reply Tazfc3s.
Dlum I'm not really a huge fan of white wheels but I love white cars, yours pulls it off nicely! I wish mine was WWP
