Mine do.

Most Lexus was not made to be lowered. Thing creaks like crazy over little dips and bumps.

Invest in the pillow mount for the bushings if you want quietness

^Despite the name "pillow" used, it is actually a spherical bearing and people say they make more noise when compared to an "OEM" rubber-type mount. The coilovers themselves, if installed correctly, make no more noise than the OE suspension components. If you want a quiet ride, just get the rubber upper mounts or get a set that makes you re-use the OEM top mounts.

My BCs make no noise either, you should make sure that who ever installed them reset all the bushings.

I think hes referring to like road noise which is not a factor of coilovers, thats more the wheels you have on the car

My BCs dont make any noise. Tires can make noise depending on brand and model. The only thing making noise from my car is the damn dash(sometimes), avs visors(upgrade to jdm soon), my exhaust and system.
