Default Installed - F-Sport Shocks w/ Eibach Springs

Just came back from the dealership where I had the F-Sport shocks installed along with my existing Eibach springs. So far, the handling is a little more stiffer than the OEM shocks. However, Im still getting the clunking noise even after the install. I had the same clunking noise when I first had the Eibach springs installed with just the OEM shocks about a year ago. Anyone out there cure the clunking noise yet?

Maybe your bump-stops aren't cut enough, were they even cut.

The bump stops were cut the first time to where they needed to be according to Eibach...so that issue could be ruled out.

Maybe the stops and mounts were put back together incorrectly, if I remember correctly the stops had to be turned upside down from the way the were stock. It was in the direction from Eibach. Just a thought.

Hmmm...might have to look into that. So the original way the bump stop goes from factory, they have to be installed upside down once the Eibachs are put in? And what about the mounts?

Some part I remember went up side down not the whole bump stop but can't remember sorry.
