chech your spring preload, you may have too much of not enough, if its coming from your camber plate/upper mount, then contact the company tat made them and see if its normal for break-in, or see if other people have had the same problem and how they resolved it (which after thinking about it, thats probably what your doing now), well good luck

ok great, they are stance coilovers and from all of the reviews i have heard noone has said anything about the noise i am hearing but i think it could be the springs, i will have to check that, thanks

if there was a break in period all 4 should be making the same sound. are you sure that the sound is comming from the coilover assembly? and if it is, have you aligned your car since you put the coilovers on? if its from the coilover i think it might be a seating problem with the spring, it may be preload but only way it'd be preload would be if there was too little and the spring was sliding up and down, make sure the spring is seated properly.

thanks for the inputi just put the coils in 2 days ago and have not gotten a chance to align it yet. I am pretty sure its coming from the coilover but ill double check that again, the spring is sitting the exact same way as the other front one which does not make any noise thats why im concerned about this, thanks

Coilovers should NOT click/clunk/tick at any pointCheck the bolt on top of the strut. You'll usually get a clunking noise if it's loose.While you're at it, check all the other bolts and make sure they're in torque spec.
