Whats up guys so I installed my coils back in August and Ive had this horrible rattling that sounds like my wheel is coming off everytime I go over a bump... It doesnt bother me that much cause most of the time Im blasting music so i can here but has anyone else had this experience or is this normal???

I read something about the type of coils I have making this noise anyway so I never thought much of it. But I thought I would throw it out there see if someone has an amazing idea I hadnt thought off. Ps my coils are D2

Thanks :biggrin:

You shouldn't have abnormal sounds with any coilovers. I would re-check your installation.

This.

My BC coils had a little rattle from the passenger rear side. There are only two small bolts that hold the shock absorber to the car. I'm sure there's a torque spec for those, but tightening the crap out of them seemed to work.
