Default F-Sport Springs (revised)

So to anyone that has purchased the revised springs is the clunking noise 100% gone? I have found a few threads where someone with newer springs say they still here it, I am really close to purchasing these with the shocks, but I will be pretty upset if I do the install and end up with that damn noise. I want to make sure this isn't going to be an issue. Thanks

Are you on AWD? If you are.. as far as I know it's still a hit or miss with all spring/ coilover drops for AWD.

I think if you use them with stock shocks it will make noise, which is happening to me.

I've been using them for like 2 months and still hear the noise over the bumps when the front tires reach the road "only front making noise for me".

I've check the springs and everything and nothing wrong even if it's making noise it's not harmful.

Faisal11ir... I would recommend installing tein silencer... if it doesn't help then 100% is the shock..

Soap:
I would not worry if I were you regarding the clunk noise since you changing the shocks also... I installed front f-sport shocks (didn't change the rear) w/ f-sport new version springs w/ silencer three weeks now and I don't hear any clunk noise... Like I said.. I definitely suggest getting tein silencer.. I didn't have the silencer at first for the front and rear... after putting the silencer in... is a lot quieter when going over bump..

My shocks are fine i've checked them twice, It just needs silencers.

Know it's annoying lol but it's not affecting anything so i'll do the silencers thingy when i'm free and bored

you probably have the old version, faisal11ir. I know a few ppl with the updated fsport springs with stock shocks and they seem to be all right.
