what factory shock mount? The coils come with all new mounting brackets and everything.

I dont think its an install problem, how could we have messed up ALL 4. Not likely, i know what im doing.

I have 2 theories what could be making noise in the front, but neither explains the rear. As soon as i can get in there and take a look and make some adjustments ill see whats going on.

Honestly for the same price i would go with the HKS coils, and i havent heard anything but good things with the KW either. Theyre all in the same price range.

I heard some like that.... I was debating between HKS or KW. I did research plus reviews from the forum members help me stayed with KW. Havent heard anything from HKS but is same concept as KW. I thing that the pre installed pillowballs have to do a lot with the rattling.

Stoof, you should seriously have a shop check your install. All the one's i sold including the prototype has NO issue or rattles.

well tomorrow ill hopefully be able to get in there and take a look.

I have a few suspicions about what it could be, but im basically gonna rip em completely out and see whats going on.

If that fails, ill bring em to a local shop and see what they say.

Try to make sure that your preload is correct. If your springs are lose, they will cause noise problems.

Also, Make sure all spring purch are tight
