    noises believed to be suspension

    Hello i have a few questions for you guys.

    when driving it feels like my car doesnt have any support what so ever, i feel everything on the road and when i stop my car it tilts foward a bit and makes a creeking sound, if i hit a bump i hear a lot of rattleing. so i parked the car and pushed down on the front and its makes all kinds of creeking sounds.

    Is there anyway to check if theres something wrong with the suspension?
    If i get coil-overs(all 4) is that all i need ? (i replaced both upper control arms and doing lower this weekend and ball joints.)

    unrelated...
    Whenever i drive from a dead stop including coming from reverse, i hear almost like a pop(like metal hitting) sound coming from what sounds to be my exhaust system and then some rattleing but everything appears to be nice and tight.

    Are your stock shocks blown? If so... yes, changing them would be VERY smart. Driving your car with blown shocks is dangerous (and after all that body work you just had done, it's not worth the risk!)

    Get the coilovers. I assume you mean full coilovers (shock/spring in one unit). That should fix your problem. You won't need anything else, other than a camber kit.
    Beyond that, start replacing bushings.

      i believe one of my shocks are blown because the front of car tilts to the side.
      ok ill get the coil overs. i found these... your opinion would be appriciated

      why would i need a camber kit ? iv found prices ranging from $30-$200.

      This car is eating my money. When im done with it though it will be brand new damn it.

        Coilovers AND sway bar bushings/end links will solve it.

        Most CB7/9's that have old cracked/shotty sway bushings creak. Do yourself a favor if you do replace them and buy a nice replacement energy suspension poly set for the end links and sway bushings.

            There are many. What do you want from a suspension setup?

            I personally love H&R and Neuspeed for springs, and Koni Yellow shocks.

              i was looking at those Form and function Coil-overs but there $$600 FU%&

              well i would like a smoother ride, BUT i dont want to much play where i would scratch up the kit i just put on or side to side roll. i already scratched it twise on what i thought were small dips..

                Eibach springs (both kits for our cars) would be a good set for you if you don't want over a 1.2-1.8 drop and still retain performance and ride quality. Shocks have been addressed already that would help get peak performance out of most any spring combo. I do love my pro kits for function best spring by far i have used.

                    That and ball joints should be:

                    OEM, triple 5 (555) or Moog
