The snapping is what I can't figure out ! That is why i asked for recommended performance shops to reinstall my coilovers?
But if there is anything you guys may think it could be feel free to say I'm guessing its gonna be my shock either it may be to tight or to lose but. Don't want to ruin my adjustment on the car so perfer to let a expert do it

video of said noise? We are all unsure of what exactly you are talking about. The point is we want to make sure that the car is even safe to drive let alone what is wrong with it.

Yea I'm gonna try to do a video or something but gonna be tough it only happens when I'm driving so yea gotta figure out a way to record it. And I've been driving the car like that for a couple months now but getting worried and tired of the noise. Anyone know of a good shop near Oc?
