big twanging noise coming from F/N/S strut

[Rhyso]

does it happen when turning in one direction??

my passenger side spring snapped and it would only twang when turning right (if i remember rightly) - driving in a straight line and turning gently it wouldn't make a noise and the ride didn't feel any different

as a temp measure GSF sell springs for £27 or so - cheap enough to get you back on the road until you buy some new lowering springs

i have already paid for the springs now, they should be here in a day or two.
im not convinced its the springs but still i could take your words for it..lol
as you said, ride doesnt feel any different and i havent noticed when it twangs...

oh dear, it was indeed the springs..both of the front, i cant believe this is a common thing..
only had the car a week and the sh!t starts..
oh well, at least my new springs are on their way.

mine had rusted right through at the very top and when i had my Eibachs' fitted the other springs were going the same way! the drivers' side front was very close to snapping!

Your be fine, mines lowered about 45-50mm and I have no problems going over any bumps

i got this fixed today, found out both front springs had snapped, i know one had been snapped for some time but the other had gone the other day as i was driving, it made an almighty ping .
never mind though, got it lowered 35mm so it looks alot nicer i must get some decent dampers sometime to sort out the handling though as its a bit soggy...
can anyone here open me up a project thread?..
