Maybe 1.5-2 in the front. And .5-1 in the back. The rear is pretty much tucked in.

I decided to go on a rampage and did the P-Brake adjustment + tein rubber silencers up the wazoo on the rear springs. They're quiet now! No clunking around anymore on the train tracks or speed bumps. I probably could've done them one at a time to see which it was, but I'm too lazy to drive the 15 miles to the dealer twice.

Oh no! You should have put one on and tested the the car. Now we still don't know if it is the p-brake or coil slap. At least we know it might be one of them.

I got the medium sized ones. I actually got them based on people with Eibachs who bought them.

thanks but i found that the main site is cheaper 7.60 that includes shipping. Thanks AznJason, I'm sure these rubber silencer fixed ur clunk noise. I read in another forum that someone with Eibachs installed had that same noise and they went back to the service tech and the tech told them its the springs and they told them the only way to fix the noise was to get the rubber silencer and after that no more noise. I could be wrong cuz anything can happen to our cars.

Interesting thread... Ive had my Eibach springs installed for 7000 miles now and I just started hearing a clunk noise since Ive had my windows down lately in the rear. Like everyone else says, it happens at 30+mph speeds on medium to hard bumps and the noise comes from the rear passenger side. Its a sharp clunk, and man is it annoying. I jacked up the car to see if something noticeable was causing it but I found nothing. I guess I will try these silencers now!

Try AznJason's method and place rubber silencers on the coils.

I think pisaykotik is getting them done soon. You can double check with him to see if it fixes his issue. Then you'll have two "successes".
