I just threw on my F-Sport Springs and Shocks yesterday.. used Tein silencers on coils 2, 4, and 6 and I'm good....

It's been a day of driving but I don't get any clunking or noise from my rear at all. I'm gonna give it a few more days before I feel like I'm in the clear.

That's because it was back in 2009. The upgraded version of the F Sport springs that were developed after that time do not have clunking issues and you do not need silencers. I have no silencers on mine and they haven't made a peep ever.

Thanks for explaining this. I am leaning toward spring only at this point.
