well when I went out for a drive the other day...I would hear a "clanging sound" like something was loose....however this would NOT happen on smooth roads....only when I would go over uneven roads or little bumps....I have the front coils cranked down....and from the bottom there are about 3 threads left.....for the rears....you can see about 10 threads left....did any of you have this problem? is it a minor or major problem? what should I do? is it "bottoming out"? if so how much should I crank it up......thanks for the reply! peace - cody

I was stressing for a while about some rattles and clanks.... but realized later on that were various tools and nutts that fell from my trunk cover onto the bare metal. I'm saving to get a full trunk audio system just so I dont even have to mess w/ that anymore..... fiberglass it all! I hate that trunk mat.

i hear that clanging sound also but i think its the fact that your coils are turned down enough to not have enough tension between the spring and the cup on which the spring sits so i wouldnt really worry about this too much but somewone please correct me if iam wrong

there should always be tension on the spring since the car "sits" on them. do you have pillow mounts? if so, that maybe your culprit.

it also my be your sway bars not having enough clearance to move up and down. i had this problem before but it wasnt a lexus.

yes it sits on them but when going over bumps it breaks the tension between the spring and the cup cause the up and down motion of a car thats slammed

yeah your car is lower than mine in terms of the threads left, i dont' have any noise on my cs at all, it's perfectly quiet. could be what you are encounting now. i guess if anything the only way to find out would be to raise your car up a bit

I also hear the "Clanging" sound. Only when my car is on a dead stop and i put it in reverse. Someone please help. I can be sure is not my transmission problem. This clanging noise happens only after i installed the TEIN CS. I did not drop my car all the way.. I still have about 5 to 7 threads.

I have this exact same problem on the CS's but for my SC. And as well its only when I am in reverse or parking very slowing. It's not loud, but my son said he can hear it from the outside, while I cannot from the inside. At first I thought it was just stress from the 10inch wide tires I have in the rear.

Can anyone clear this up?

Any news on the clunking?

Did you guys mange to fix the problem?

Are you happy w/your TIEN CS purchase?

My cs aren't making the sounds you're talking about. Maybe it's because I have a conservative drop. Maybe my fat tire set up helps with cushioning. I have been nothing but pleased with mine. The minute I'm not, off they go.
