alright thanks. coilovers been making sounds everytime i go over a bump. i test the shocks and it goes up and down good. spring/helper spring, doesn't move around. any suggestions?

Are the coilovers new or used? If used, how old did the previous owner say they are and how many miles on them; you might need to be rebuilt.

[isusu8o8]

Used. 4 months been on his wifes car and barley used cause she didn't like how she lost the "smooth feeling"

How low are you? depending on the noise it could just be the upper arms bottoming out when you hit dips or bumps on the street, if its a popping sound it could be the spring itself trying to pop its way back in place but that shouldn't happen if you still have the helpers inn. Just double check make everythings tight when installed.

Drive it around for like a month to let everything settle

Some coilovers are more noisy than others. I know this sounds retarded but the HKS I had made much more noise than the Apexi I have now. Please describe the noise a little better.
