hi all i have my 02 sti and about a month ago had bc coilovers fitted along with,rear arb and drop links,anti lift kit and roll centre kit also had full geom.all was done at powerstation and am very happy,tho every time i brake i get a knock from the front,i can get it to make this noise by putting a bit more force on brake pedal to get it to do it,then if i go on and off pedal it will keep doing it just once every time i stab the pedal.i dont think its to do with brakes but sounds like arb knocking(front one is still oe )could it be the anti lift kit ? it was not there before i uprated suspension thats for sure,also its becoming more often now.any help please cheers.

Taking it back to Powerstation would be the best option,rather than someone trying to diagnose the problem over the internet.

not that easy when it means another day off work ! any thoughts tho on where to startlooking ?

right before i go any further i was very happy with what powerstation did with my setup and fitting of suspension but looked at car on ramp today and could not beleive what i saw, one of the main two bolts that hold coilover to hub(top one) was loose and when i say loose i mean not even done up at all,not worked loose either as the nut and bolt were turning together and could tell it was put on finger tight ! when ive had kids and wife in car at stratford weekend and everyone saying whats thats noise.not very good if you ask me,tightening nuts should be basics as i work in bodyshop so i know !

I would let them know, feedback good or bad is always useful !

I was only going to say check the ARB bushes !

Glad you spotted it, before something unpleasant occured.

i want to know dunx would those bolts be cambered ? im sure he alted camber with top mount(adjustable)so when i noticed it loose and tightened would camber change or do they need to be special camber bolts for that to alter? thanks

Get the geo done again m8 its probably moved. Shocking how a 'specialist' could let that happen, I always check and double check such fixings before lowering to the ground!

i know mate but its an hour there and hour back then with them checking it, and i cant afford to lose another day off work,im not moaning about them but i paid over 400 pound for the work i had done and its all time and fuel that costs me so am a bit miffed ! thanks folks anyway.

Could well be camber bolts in the front, shouldn't be far out, I'd go there and TELL them to set it up for free, and re-imburse your fuel costs !

LOL at the keyboard warrior.....
