Question Prodrive Springs + clunk/thudding

Hi all,

New to the mod scene and am impressed with the work that's described on the multiple posts. Anyway, had the prodrive springs installed on my 03 sedan and noticed that whenever I turn left, and drive in a circular pattern... I hear a "clunking" type of noise similar to the noise that you hear when pop open the trunk and it opens up all the way w/o anyone stopping it. Can't figure out what's causing this noise. Please help.

Is therre a break in period for this type of work? Could this be the issue....will the sound eventually disappear?

Thanks all.

It sounds like the spring might be clunking around a bit in the hat. Probably nothing to worry about but I'd have it looked at by the guy who installed the springs

Thumbs down clunking

Confirmed that the issue was caused by the springs not seating properly. They were loosened and then retightened. No noise now. Since my car has over 50 thou. miles on it, they didn't seat initially and may have needed time to "break in". Regardless, I'm glad it's fixed now. Love the springs!
