No changes that have been made that I am aware of either. There are still 6 or 7 guys with rattles.

For what it's worth I just had my BC Coilovers installed and they were installed minus the rear adjusters that get installed in the trunk. I never told my installer about the rattle issue BC has so I asked him why he didn't install the rear adjusters and he said because he thinks they may cause rattling noises. I have no rattle to speak of so far. Mind you I just recently had them installed so I'm still checking. I'm no tech but this may be a simple cause/easy fix for those with rattles.

I didn't have my extenders on until recently and i've always had the rattle, so its not the extenders.

I've got the clunking sound as well (sounds like the back seat of my G35 is rattling) on the passenger rear. I haven't had a chance to lift it back up and check, but I will this weekend.

I had a chance to adjust the rear today and there was a noticeable difference when preloading the springs and everything. However, there is still a rattle...like the rear seat is loose...that is there. Not constant rattling, but it's there.

I had emailed Pete, a couple of weeks ago, but never got a reply.

call pete at bc and listen to what he says, he knows what he is talking about and is a good dude. i have the bc on my X and i had a ton of problems because of the weight of my car, but a new longer rear strut and spring spacer in rear corrected all problems. now i just gotta figure out why my car is so bouncy and handles not as good as the old setup.
