Default Tein spring silencers

Guys does anyone know anything about the tein spring silencers?
I heard that their is a lot of clunking noise for the f-sport springs so I was hoping to put tein silencers on to reduce the noise. Would this fit and also, does anyone know how thick the f-sport springs are? The silences come in 3 sizes
Thanks !

you only need silencers on the rear springs.

or you could opt to get the TSB done.

You need the Medium size ones. All u need is two packs (two silencers on each side for the rear). Some people here get 4-5 packs but thats over doing it cause the rubber only has to go in between the spring that is not covered. Meaning you dont need rubber on rubber contact on the dead coils...

there are 2 in each pack. i put three on each of the rear springs (i.e. 3 packs). i only get the occasional clunks over large dips and potholes, not loud enough to bother me.

Hey max

didn't have to buy them...They came already on the springs from the factory. I'm sure you could order them separately though...surely.

I purchased 4 packs with the intention of putting 1 pack (2 each) per spring, but then I ended up putting only 1 silencer on each of the front springs and 3 on each of the rear springs. Apparently the problem is only on the rear springs, but I didn't want to risk it. I've had my F Sports installed for a few months now and haven't heard any clunking noises.
