I just read Karl's post ~ the *klunk* gets better with time (springs settling into their seats). At first it was aweful, I thought something was bad wrong. Now I get an occasional klunk when transitioning into/onto uneven surfaces. Again something I've learned to live with on lowered vehicles. A note on the Carat springs, I think that this is a better setup truthfully as the suspension is tight/low and still supple. I ran a set for a year or so and if the Koni's don't solve my rebound problems will be going back to them. I went with the H&R's for two reasons 1.) garage door clearance. I can now drive in & out with the top vent wide open and it clears everything 2.) I'm short and hated leaping from my van :-) I'm near middle age and one must eventually have dignity!
