can you by chance take a pic of the rear for me both sides. good thing the hatch is easy to get under the back. maybe something isn't tightened enough. the perches may not be connected and tightened together or something is loose so its moving around

when i was running no lock rings in back it would clunk, do you have at least one lock ring installed and plastic thrust washer installed over lock ring? for the front make sure you have preload on the spring so its not moving around and make sure lock rings are tight and sway bar endlink tight. Also check main allen head bolt that keeps shock attached to camber plate

You’re about as low as I am, do you remember ur damper settings? I keep bumping the plastic in the front going over bumps. I don’t know if I should stiffen them up or just raise the front. I’m running a 8k front and 6k rear with the max low kit.

my damper settings front and back are at the softest. I called bc and ordered custom rear shock cartridges, they go about 2 inches lower than the max low kit, also swapped out the 170mm max low rear springs for 145mm, I can take a picture of it if that would help you

No rubbing up front on bumps? What size wheels and tires are you running?
