Question for Pro-Kit users

I just switch from my stock to Prokits (1.4 Drop) and KYB Gr-2.

It rides nice and smooth after a alignment, but i heard a little drum like sound in the rear when i go over some bumps. Is this normal?

Thanks..

hi, my name is buzz and im on a prokit i was on the prokit and happy for a couple weeks before i realized what it was doing to me and my cl. i still am on the prokit but am on the road to recovering.(soon to have skunk 2 coilovers )
as a prokit abuser myself i do have that nasty clap/thump on both sides in the rear.

i rembember theres a some kind of sleeve for the spring you can get to eliminate that noise.

yes its been experienced w/ a lot of the prokit users, search for the diy on those spring covers, supposedly it quiets the back a bit.
