Default LCAs in, but....

First off, I'd like to say that this was probably the best hundred bucks I've spent on the car to date. The difference is incredible! The car doesn't lurch or rock like it did when I launched hard in the past. It just goes. Amazing.

The only problem is at slow speeds, I now hear a little knocking in the back. It's only when I'm decellerating, and it's mostly in the 25 to 0 mph area. At first, I thought it was the duals hitting the axle, but that's a completely different sound.

The only thing that I didn't do according to the instructions was the torque spec. I didn't have a torque wrench, so I just tightened the **** out of them. I've been a mechanic for a long time, so I'm usually pretty good at "guestimating" what a certain torque rating is. I could go back and retorque the bolts, but I don't think that will help.

Any ideas?

Congrats man!!!! I don't know about the TQ spec, but I do know LCA's transfer more road noise. I didn't find it that much though.
