For those of you who's got coilover, are you experiencing noise issues compare to stock or before the change?

For those who's experiencing noise issues, do you know where from the suspension it's originating from?

Finally, what can you do to keep them quiet? Rubber hose around the springs?

Good thread guys... keep them coming!

i just thought of something:

what makes your sure that it is indeed the coilovers making the noise and that the noise your hearing isnt the infamous first gen suspension "knock"?

Couldn't be...his is a second gen.

;p

Tein makes spring insulators and there are similar products to be found. These are inexpensive and are not difficult to install. Lexkost suggested a tough vinyl tubing a spell back also.
