Thanks for posting pics RT! AznJason, please post up your feelings after a week of driving with them. Let us know if you hear any sounds.

Its a total of 5 per side... it looks like 4 in the picture, but thats actually 5. The spacers are not full loops, more like 3/4 loops. So it takes 5 of them to properly cover 4 coils. If you only have 2, its not going to be enough. If you used them only on the right side, i would just isolate the upper two coils the best you can. But to do it 100%, i think you need 5 per side, and wrap every coil completely.

wat size did u use for the rubber?

I've been driving with them for a while. It doesn't change the ride much (at least not enough for me to notice). No clunks on any potholes/railroad tracks/etc. It does have a small thunk (not even remotely as bad as before) when I go over the speed bumps in my parking lot. They're like, 2" high and 8" long. I hate those things! Speed humps do nothing though.

I got the 90-130mm ones (medium according to Options Auto)

dam i just order 4 more rubber. i feel u on the speed humps i gotta go through that everyday to work. they are shaped like a camel's hump and yes its that huge. i avoid it and if i can't, i go at it from an angle at the side end of it. i'm still dropping my ride.

I didn't cut mines yet cuz I'm having someone else install it, but good thing you pointed that out.

I fixed my clunk..... The spring was not seated properly on my drivers side front strut's rubber spring seats. (the notches in rubber didnt fit the ends of the spring on the top - bottom rubber was seated fine) I disassembled it... cleaned it. I applied a little lithium grease below and above the rubber. and a little on the bottm and top coils of the spring. I reassembled the unit making sure the ends of the spring were snug in the notches of the spring rubber seats. The lithum grease helps seat the spring so it doesnt bind on recoil. just a tiny dab allowed the assembly to operate free of friction.

I no longer have that annoying clunk in the suspension.

when i went into the get my oil changed i also asked for the TSIB on brake cable and it solved the clunk issue.

curious, does the f-sport springs require the bump stops to be cut/shaved down like the eibach instructions?

Interesting. This is the first I have heard about improper seating of the spring. I believe mine are seated properly because I had the dealer check the setup.

Good to hear. Looks like a couple of people found this useful. I think this is the first step in solving the problem. If that doesn't work then look into the rubber sleeves.

No, it does not require bump stops to be shaved or cut.

^^^ Dealer can only check so much without removing the assembly and viewing all contact points. I thought mine was done right as well as I did them myself, but I guess I was a 1/4" off on the seating on the drivers front.


Anyways.... its just something to verify. my clunk was HORRIBLE like I forgot a bolt or something its also a common problem in any car forum where u lower a car. I been reading up on it on the web. I decided to inspect and I found a smoking gun.

Good Luck
