Hi guys.

Since i mounted the kingsprings in my subi i have limited negative suspension travel. So when i drive enthusiastic over a bump i hear a clunck because my suspension has used the negative suspension travel.

For me this is new in a subi. Wil this kill the shocks eventually? I am thinking to mount
Suspension limiting straps to help/save the shocks. Where do i mount those straps? Below is no problem, but where do i mount them on top?

Is this coming from the front? Mine does that too, it tops out with a clunk. I've found as the springs settle in it happens less. I put mine in almost 3 yrs ago, no issue yet. The downside of raised springs is reduced droop, but thats a compromise I can live with for the much better handling & ground clearance
 
It's like Nachaluva says, it's the strut topping out and hammering the piston because there's less travel,

I'm waiting to see how long it takes to ruin the shocker. hasn't yet with about 60,000k since they went in.
