I cant really wait to send the coilover in and then set the car until it comes back. I am not sure how safe it would be to put the stock shock and spring back in on one side and drive like that until the coilover comes back. I guess the best way is to buy a new unit and have the old one fixed, evev though it will cost me $500 or so. You gotta pay if you wanna play

hopefully you will get your coilover soon and get it replaced, so the noise will go away. it must be annoying

Its not just the noise but also the ride. Its very bad when going over bumps. I am probably going to replace the whole unit. I suspect that it was the fault of the installation and not the coilover itself. I had a feeling that the shop that did it did something wrong and that really pisses me off. When I get the new coilover I am going down there and trying to get something in return for this.

In the meantime I have a friend who used to do this and he said he will help me install the new coilover so I can get some experience and knowledge about installing supsension.

Todd ordered a new coilover setup, everything except for the spring, which will come from my current coilover. It is going to cost me but I just want it fixed as the noise is driving me nuts now. I am now almost 100% convinced that this was installation error and not a Tein problem. I have not had problems with the other ones and have had these for almost 2 years now.
