Hey fellas, been doing a little research and some owners have said that after installing the bc's, they would hear like clunking noises and so forth. For those of you who have BC's, have you experienced this and if so, how did you fix this issue? Some of the owners said that the noises would go way while others still have this issue.

Is it worth getting these if you cannot fix this issue or is the noise thing just being blown out of proportion? Is the noise really that loud? Thanks for the help.

beachman718, your rims looks good my brother, can't wait to see the pictures when you post them.

I had clunking noises, but it had nothing to do with the coilovers themselves. On my 2007 M35x, the stabilizer/sway bar links would go bad every 5k. Now, could you say that it's because I was lowered and that if I wasn't they wouldn't go bad? Perhaps. But the coilovers themselves never made any noise.

I plan to get BC's for my M56x.

I know that this is a very common issue on the Infiniti G35/G37 (v36) platforms. BC doesn't have any solution or have an idea what is actually causing the problem. I was secretly banking that the Y51 platforms would be immune to this issue.
