Bump. Any news on this? I am wondering if this is a 1 time case with you or if others are having the same build issue.

Any updates on this guys?

I'm still on AMR coils (Really REALLY regretting ever bringing this company to this forum)

I can't afford a replacement set right now so I'm going to suffer until the time comes

Any update on the noise issue? I got mine two weeks and have been struggling with a persistent low speed thud/knock that is definitely coming from the shock itself. I have had the rear apart 6 times already and have also reached out to FA. They told me to hit the upper 17mm bolt with an impact gun which I did, but with no success. I have check preload and torqued every bolt properly. So I am hoping someone knows the fix for this.

I hope to revive this thread and get some feedback from others.

I get a "thud" or a "bang" when I hit a small pothole or bump. It is very jarring.

The car is okay over more regular surfaces (shocker).

I have the fortune auto 500 coilovers. They are on my 2015 WRX. I guess I will try to hit the top nuts with an impact wrench, and I will make sure the bolts at the top are torqued to 70#.

I also got my set through THMotorsports.

Very friggin' frustrating. If this doesn't work out, I am going with Ohlins Road and Track.

Sounds like a lot of folks are having issues with rear clunking on the FA500's.

Just installed them on my X a week ago and no noises. I have the Swift 10/8k, 8" rear springs.

If I just plan on dropping the car to get rid of gap as it would like by installing just the swifts or slightly lower, would I need camber kits?
