Default Just installed TEIN basic coilovers....

Well I put the height at about halfway on all the threads on all 4 because its winter time here and there's no need to slam the car. WELL, both my fronts have a very similiar clunking noise but even more so on the right side...Me and 2 other friends tried to tighten every bolt as best we could but it seems(sounds) like the center strut bolt is loose. Anyone have any opinions??? or suggestions?

It seems to be that center bolt...anyone have ideas on how to keep it extra tight? Loctite?

My set squeeks on the right rear coilover.If your talking about the nut on the top of the shock,I don't think it matters if the bolt is tight because the shaft cant spin.depending on how low you go will determine how high or low the nut should sit.I might be wrong.I tightend mine all the way down cause i plan on going lower

So Ultimateone, did you get this problem solved, and what are your thoughts on the basics???

weslutes, I am assuming you are saying that you have the basics too. So yours squeaks also and have you solved your problem?? What are your thoughts on the basics??

Yup Im all set now with ZERO noises.
Impressions are awesome, its not too stiff and it has got rid of the dreaded Z bounce. I have it set at about halfway and could down further and it gives a Great drop as is. I really like the Tein's so far and Im happy I went for coils as when I get my new wheels I will slam the car almost all the way
