Hey guys,

I just installed my coilovers. They look amazing. Only problem is that any time the rear tires go over a bumb i hear a noise. The noise is hard to explain. I brought it to the garage that installed them and they say its simply the noise of the suspension "working". It sounded as if the tire was rubbing on the fender but after driving with it for 3 days there was no evidence of any rubbing.

Does anyone have the coilover kit? Does anyone know what it could be? any help is greatly appreciated as I do not want futur problems as a result of not fixing it now.

 

hi, i got a question, does the sound coming from the driverside-rear ?

 

Could be MANY things:

- Need to get a Skinnier tire?

- Rears werent assembled correctly.

- Need to Roll your Rear Fenders.

- Need to trim some of the PLastic in the wheel well too?


Who installed the coilovers?

How low are you?

 

Yes

 

I don't know if this helps any but I'm also on tein basic coilovers and I'm not getting any sounds from the rear. I'm also all the way down and have 15mm spacers on. The only sound I'm getting is my front hitting the fender when ever I go over a dip. My best guess is to check installation.

 

I had them installed by a local performace garage. They do good work. Im as low as i was able to go. Made sure there no no rubbing, and like i said above, there is no evidence of any rubbing. I am going back again today to check it out. I did a few of my own test yesterday and all i could see is that its forsure only coming from the left side.

also,

The caps that cover the suspension in the trunk keep popping off. is this normal?

thanks for any help

 

If the caps that cover the rear struts keep coming off then something isn't tight. Or they forgot a rubber bushing. Just a thought. But that is by no means normal!

 

Can I see pictures of your car on Teins? :D

 

agreed^^ i wouldnt mind seeing some pics either

 

No more 4x4 look.

 

How do you like the Teins? I cant decide whether i want Tein, Ksport, or Std's.

 

I love them. Any more of a drop and rubbing starts. They gave me the exact drop i was looking for

BUT,

its a rought drive. im sure most coilovers are.
