Does anyone have these on their car? I have them on but i dont think i put them on right. They make a knocking noise when i hit a bump on the road. Is there something that is supposed to go in between the mounts and the shocks?

thanks,john

neither do i...i just gotta save up from both my jobs and pass more ASE's to increase my pay at my full time job....but before that I gotta get the sweet deal Phase2 is offering on Battle Version suspension parts, and the Kazama Tein tie rod combo, thats like 1100 right there. then I gotta change the coilovers

i have them in the front on my s14, and i had a problem where the threads on the strut didnt go down far enough and it left room for the shock to move. i have to take them out and use a tap and die set to add more threads. now they are fine
