Default Help: Goldline springs

So I installed my goldline springs about a month ago and everyone was fine, but now I seem to be getting almost like a knocking sound everytime i hit a dip on one side of the car. It seems to gradually be gettin worse as time goes by. Ne suggestions as to what this might be and how it can be fixed?

I have the same problem, I was told recently that it is because the Goldline's don't have a rubber pad to absorb the bumps. I think this is something that needs to be addressed to the Manufacturer . I like the stance and the ride with the Gold Line's but this sounds awful.

Default rubber pads

My uncle who's a mechanic said the same thing. He told me to buy some rubber mats and cut them out and we could put those under the springs. Who knows if this would work. I guess ill give it a try. Ill let u know how it works out.

If you take the rubber insolator off your stock springs and put them on the goldlines this will help, the knock comes from the front, and our stock front springs have these insolators. Bill

I know the tiens do, Not sure about tanabe, hotchkiss, goldline and spy don't, It is easy enough to pull them off your stocks and it does quiet the squeek and knock. Bill
