Coil binding after ABC conversion
I was wondering if anyone has experience with the coilovers conversion, specifically the Yellowspeed's. I'm getting what appears to be cool binding on the fronts when I turn the wheel while the car is stationary. I have made a short video and you can hear the noise. I've gone over the install and don't see any apparent issues. The noise is not noticable outside of the car, it's really on felt/heard when turning the steering wheel inside the car.

I have read on the Toyota GR86 forum that this sound can be expected with coilovers although some people have had success with making some adjustments to get rid of the noise.

I didn't mess with any of the preload until I noticed this. Also, I ended up loosening some of the preload by just a bit and it still is making the sound. I noticed that the rears also make the noise as well so I am fairly certain that it is not related to the steering. The preload settings were supposed to be set by the manufacturer so I don't think it should be making the noise.
