So I just slapped on my new coilovers. And I TQ everything except the center nut that came with the coilovers. So I realized sometime when I turn really slowly (1 mph) I can hear the metalized "pop" sound. It does it once a while. Im sure everything is tight tho. So is it normal for new coilovers? Or... Thanks

Try to preload one and a half turn and see if that helps. Most likely, sound is coming from spring.
