Has anybody had problems related to installation of the bat handling kit?
I had the new kit (bat springs and struts + new lower control arms) installed about a month ago.
Good: Kit is great setup for street. Just as most people say, it really tones down roll, dive and particularly lift. Looks great and just gives the car a great stance. My SVT dropped from 3/4 of an inch in front and maybe 1/4 in rear.
Bad: I have noticed a popping in the front end when I turn the wheel to the right in the last couple of weeks. At first I couldn't isolate the cause, but it is tight low speed right turns, such as parking lot and pulling out of driveways.
I am not trying to run BAT down. The kit handles great and there are no drivability issues and I would recommend it to anyone interested in upgrading, but the popping is worrying me. There is nothing rubbing that I can tell from a quick visual inspection.
I am bringing the car back the shop that installed it for a checkup tomorrow. (FYI, that is one expensive trip to the shop, but I wanted the control arms done and I was not about to tear into that by myself at home, just seemed like a nightmare weekend).
Just wondering if anyones else has had this issue and what it turned out to be (or best guesses from those of you who may now)
I will post the shops answer. Hopefully, it will be a simple fix and they won't jack me around since it is aftermarket.
