Default Clicking noise from rear end when going over road dots with Tein CS....

I know it is due to the coilovers, but I can't figure out what is wrong. They are normally pretty quiet but when I go over road dots they click, Loud. What is this noise, what can I do to fix it. I am going to check all the bolts to make sure none of them are loose, but it doesn't sound like a loose bolt.

i am experiencing similar problem. I am lowered on Eibach and hear a clunking noise when my windows are down and driving over rough road. The shop that installed my spring could not fix it. I just learned to live with it.

Check your emergency brake. The adjustment is very critical. I had this clicking/rattle coming from the rear. It took 3 adjustments until the senior Tech told me that each rear wheel has to be separately adjusted perfectly and then the slack has to be taken out of the cable. No more noise.

Koz knows whats up. My car is at the dealer right now, getting new e-brake brake shoes and tensioner adjustments, free of charge of course. Should be all good from there on out.

If you drive your car while parking break is engaged, the red warning light will come on. Did you not notice the warning light in your dash?
