When I went to the track yesterday, my friend told me that when I shifted, he saw the front end dip low to the ground. I don't know how low it went but what would cause that? I do have a popping noise sometimes when turning the steering wheel, and it's not cv axles. It has relatively new SFB's and brand new tie rods. Any ideas, I'm going back on Friday and I would like to get it fixed if anything is even wrong. Thanks.

You might have some worn out springs/struts.... When I shift hard, my back end squats... I have bad struts and sagging springs all the way around...

I had a popping noise coming from my front end when I turned the wheel all the way to the left or right, it turned out that one of the subframe bolts that hold the subframe to the body had loosened up.

I hope this helps

The popping noise when turning may be a worn out strut mount bearing binding up. Replacing them is some what of a PITA, since the strut need to come out of the car and be dissasembeled. If you have worn out stuts and springs, it would be best to replace everything at once.
