Does not sound right, I am still saying something was not done right on the install. I have NO issues whatsoever and I know at least 4 or 5 guys in my club who have been rocking these coils for a while also with no issues.
Unless there was some sort of factory defect on all your kits you should not be hearing anything.

Hey everyone,
sorry I haven't had the opportunity to come in as we have been running some events here lately.
The rear install is not as simple as the fronts. The rears need to be adjusted evenly. Whatever changes are done to the spring need to be done over to the shock as well to maintain it's balance and keep everything tight. It sounds as there may be something loose. Also, the lower rear isolater from factory is to be used. I've heard of some using our assembly upside down. I know I have some pics, let me see if i can get some posted up here.
If your not sure on the equal adjustments in the rear, your gonna want to go in and release the lower bolt to the shock. Once this is done using a jack put load on the spring seat. Once the spring is loaded as if the car was on the ground, make sure the shock end is not longer or shorter than needed. You will want it to be slightly shorter (1/8-1/4 inch). I would also double check all the bolts and nuts that were worked on. The upper bolts to the shock, those I've heard of people stripping, even snapping. Be careful on not overtorquing those. If anyone has questions, please feel free to contact us. 321-206-6381

It's a little wierd because like I said, of every car I researched and every person I spoke to or know, this is the first set of problems.
