Mine definitely got worse when i got coilovers, but arent as bad as yours. I have not tried felting the areas recommended though.

granted, the road was horrible and it was pretty cold out. on new roads its absolutely quiet...on summer days its much better. it drives me crazy at times and makes me want to take a hammer to it. the front and rear door panels rattle, the dash sounds like its from a 2001 Hyundai.

Maybe you have bent wheels have you checked them? Have you checked to see if you have worn bushings? Worn front shocks?

Felt between the glass and dash will fix most of the rattles. Just go to an arts and craft store.

My drivers side door and the window rattles because of the bass from the woofer in the door.
