Tein rubber spring spacers
Anyone know where i can get the Tein rubber spring spacers? I have the Megan Ez coilovers and one rear side makes a thumping sound over rough roads. I reset the preload and moved the rear coils from the passenger side to the driver side and the noise follows the coilover. Im hoping its just the coils slapping together.

You should have to compress the springs a LOT to get them to "slap together". I don't think a rough road would be enough to do that. Did you take them off to check the preload? Or did you try to do that while still on the car?
Is this a recent problem or did it start from the beginning? I don't think the megans come with a top bushing do they? There is a top nut where you adjust the damping. Make sure that is tight, but don't tighten too much and see if that makes a difference.
The preload from the factory should have been sufficient, if they were new. If used, maybe the previous owner played with them, but my understanding is preload should not need adjusting. It's possible they weren't set correctly from the factory.
If your close enough, drive there. Claim ignorance, give them a hangdog expression, tell them their coils are making noise. Maybe they'll come outside and fix them up for you
