I really hope we recieve some sort of reply or fix for our problem if there are only a handful of rattlers maybe we have a defective product. I have had these coilovers uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times now with only minute improvements.

Is it a rattle or a squeak that everyone is hearing?

My springs will make some noise every once in a while... but is it not annoying nor anything I am concerned about.

I am just curious what everyone is hearing...

Well only some have had the noise and most people who I talk to that have them say they love them.. They handle great and adjust easy and the price is right.. Most people think there poor quality because there not outrageously priced JDM tuner parts.. Not everybody can afford these parts so I would say the BC racing coilovers or the Megan racing coilovers would be the way to go... If you have the right spring rates and your car is dialed in right it will handle great no matter what brand of coilovers you have.. I'm most likely gonna be going with the BC racing coilovers when I get some more money HA HA HA!!!!! Good luck with your decision!!!!

My sound is exactly like when you dont close your back seat up properly and when you go over a bump you can hear the seat metal rattling. This is the sound that is coming from my coilovers. Is there a refund available on these? or an exchange?

I am going to look at mine this weekend, but sounds like a pre-load issue when installed like mentioned above.

So I adjusted my rear springs today, before I had them the wrong way (upside down) and now, I can't seem to figure out how to raise the car. I am almost at the max with the springs, as far as I can raise it but its still so low in the rears, almost rubbing. The shock should not have any effect on the height off the car, please some one correct me if I am wrong. Any help would be great.

I can't even check for the rattle because its too low now and I don't want to drive like this on bumpy roads.

So is it me or there hasn't been update from BC on what could possibly make the noise. I would place money on it's the dampener, either something is messed up internally or we haven't adjusted them correctly...

The shock does not have any effect on the height but I noticed the same thing when we flipped mine. It did sit lower even with the extenders just about all the way up.
