Because I tried three dealers and between them telling me to go back where I bought it from or telling me it's normal, I can't get it fixed.

It depends on your budget. I have been using DSE / JRI coilovers on my track builds and RideTech on my street builds. The ride quality of the RideTechs is simply outstanding. Range is @2K to $5k

For a straight up strut swap, Bilstein montubes under $800

Bistein is expensive, but they are high pressure monotubes. The 1LE has low pressure monotubes up front and twin tubes in the rear. Bilstien is an upgrade of substance.

20152SS1Le · 09-06-2016, 08:09 PM

So that would upgrade both front and rear?

What version of ride techs do you recommend for my use keeping in mind if it sees the track it will be 1/4 mile. Mostly just a street car

Just got the car back from dealer, since they were at the struts, had them balanced tires and did the alignment as JP suggested. Now the car handles great, and the annoying Bangs are gone. The car does sitting a bit higher than before if I remember correctly. Hopefully it will settle a bit after time. Thanks for everyone that helped out through this tread, finally got this annoying problem solved!

You're a lucky man. I gave up hope.

Sorry to hear that man. It sucks that knowing the issue and solutions, but dealer wont cover it.

Great news.

Alignment makes all the difference. If the alignment isn't dead nut balls on accurate, the suspension could be made of unobtainium and wouldn't drive right.

As for ride height, that is most likely in your mind's eye. OEM Struts have nothing to do with ride height and the springs were already settled. We'll see.
