Recently installed megan coilover about a week ago.The problem is when you reverse it makes weird noise in the front.What could it be?Another thing is i adjust the damper all the way soft,and it's still kind of boucy.Any feed back would help me.

Do you have a complete coilover kit or is it just the sleeve? 99% of people with coilover will experience some sort of noise from them without any solution. Just double check the install work and ensure all the rubber stops/sleeves are on correctly to reduce noise.

Are you sure it's not something to do with the brakes? My car kinda does that and I was just assuming since I put new brakes on it was the rotors/pads.
