How long does it usually take after install to start hearing the noises, right away or after a couple of days when the spring settles? I just installed mine that's why.

I just did a search on F-sport springs and I read most people are happy with their springs with no problems so wondering if rule1223's claim of "9/10 of us got that noise" is true or not.

I notice it after a day or two, but I didn't drive my car much then and I gradually notice it. Now a days regular bumps don't cause it, but only when I drive over potholes around 70-80 mph then I hear a clunk, and usually the the VSC light goes on too where I hear a clunk since the dip was large enough for my wheels to leave the ground

I got F-sport about 3 weeks ago. The clunk noise is there, really disappointed about the noise but the ride isn't so bad. It's progressive so the it feels springier than stock especially when riding on a load.

It appears to be like 50/50 from the polls. I'm a little worried now, hope the noise doesn't start for me after a week. umm design flaw??
