I just upload my car with YYZ V5 and I can't paste the picture ago put it in here. Seems like my iOS 8.3 SUCKS! You can go in my images and look at top left corner.

You got the same wheel I have! LOL! But they are kinda heavy though...I'm leaning on either Enkei PF01 or MSR 048 (If that rim will clear brembo ?) cause neither those rim weight 18 lbs. MSR 048 is $500 cheaper than Enkei PF01.

I found a fix for the rear spring clunking issue. It's from ford actually but it fits like a glove. Part # for the spring sleeve from ford to fix the clunking issue on the v5's is 6r3z-5L302-a

What kind of clunking did you have? Is it something like that https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/susp...inside-318073/

That's strange, I just put about 1,200 miles road trip on my YYZ V5 and don't have any clunk in the rear at all. I don't put on pads for rear springs. Just the plastic piece push it to the rear springs then slap it back in there and I put dead coils on the bottom. I made sure it sit in properly.

It was more of a chuckle kind of clunking whenever the rear springs would flex or go over a bump. It's like driving a caddy now that the noise is gone.

anyone have the yyz's on Koni's up front as well ? What setting are you at ?

My rears are set at 1/4 turn from full soft right now on pedders ... might make it a little stiffer with the yyz's maybe a 1/2 turn.

My koni rears are a half turn from full soft. Great ride/handling. Still no more clunking after installing those sleeves on the rear shocks.
