Nice, That's my review actually. I still haven't got a chance to put them in.

 

Update on my review....My front are just stupid noisy....Thought it was maybe my lug nuts were loose or something with the suspension....So i went back in and tightened everything down but its still there....The poping and `loose metal` sound....IDK what it is but I`m starting to worry

 

This may sound dumb but I actually left the front damper nuts (3 on top) on and installed, then realized and noticed that the struts came with nuts..

check from under hood if you didnt remove already, you will see a larger gap inbetween

funny I tought it was part of assembly..

 

That would definitely be a problem...
BTW, clunking sounds are usually the upper strut mounts.

 

So what was the problem, everything work out??

Just curious..

 

What is the preload for the rear springs?

 

I have the same fricking noise in the front and now make me wonder if all coilovers are like that?
I did removed those nuts btw...

 

Any more reviews? Seems like the thread to purchase these have stopped. These seems too good to be true.

 

no i still have the poping - loose noise. I went back in and couldnt find anything loose so Im lost.....

 

Sounds like classic upper strut mount being loose or worn out. Double check.

 

is the noise the shock piston hitting the hood

i had that problem with my DA integra, it was slammed, and back in the mid 90's, things weren't as available as they are today, so i made it the best i could. turned out the koni piston was bangin on the underside of the hood because i had it lowered so far and couldn't adjust the preload or dampening.


ALSO:

Has anyone set their car up with the "True" coilover setup for the rear? I just did mine today, and it seems cheesy. I don't think it's correct but i put the coil spring on the actual shock body without any extra perch. If i used the perch, the bolts for the top shock mount would have hit it and not allowed the spring to sit level. So, i just used the spring and the spanner nuts (all three). The third spanner nut was used to keep the threaded body of the shock tight with the mounting point of the knuckle.


it's a lil scary thinking that the way i set them up is the way they are "Supposed" to be set up.

hope this helps

 

i did mine true style. Rear is just fine on mine, its just the fronts.

 

you have any pics of the rear coil setup?

 

+1 on pics

 

++2

 

I work all week, but ill try and get a pic

 

it's friday... remember those pics of the rear? :-)

i'll have to see if i can't get a decent shot of the way i set the rears... (which i think is a $#it design)

 

^ ok fine tomorrow morning i`ll try and get a pic. honestly there are pics already up of what the true coils look like. just an empty bucket `ugly` as hell.
