That is your problem right there. I'll take my $67 diagnostic fee please. :lol:
Just messing with you on the fee. But seriously man, if you are going to upgrade your suspension atleast do some reading for you own safety and do it right. I am assuming you put those on your OEM stock struts, which i am willing to bet are blown now because of the symptoms you described. Your car has become a Giant bouncy ball driving now. Read the faq under non-performance on how to lower your car the right way. Its is EVERYTHING you need to know on how to upgrade your cars suspension. If you cannot afford to do a proper suspenion where everything works in syncronization, your at risk for an accident. If you say you cannot afford it, then you shouldn't find a cheap way out of doing somthing and by gettin those $120 or less coil overs isn't the best idea. I will admit i did the same damn thing and i am still to this day trying to replace parts i broke from riding DZ springs on OEM struts. New Wheel bearing, CV shaft joint overhall and rebuild, and a totally new suspension setup. My Dropzone spring costed me 100 bucks and 5 hrs of work to installed them. My new setup of KYB AGX, Eibach Prokit, New strut mounts, Wheel bearings, CV shaft rebuild, alignment, has ran me $1,220 bucks and around 12-15 hours of work, where it could have only ran me 700-800 for the right suspension products and the 5 hr install. Think about it. I am taking my time to try and help you fix your problem before you break other things and cause more $$ damage to your car. I highly advise you take those things off and try and get your $$ back and do it right. Read the Faq and choose your style that you want.
