So today.. I took everything off and re-assembly again to see if it goes away.. the clank noise still there..

Any suggestion????

should I get Tein Silencer?
I had the same problem with the first F-sport springs. I took them apart installed the silencers and no more clunk. Mine was coming from the rear passenger side. I ordered the medium tein silencers for all the springs. Seems to be a common issue.

Default No more metalic clunk!

Just installed the medium Tein spring silencers as suggested. No more clunk!!! You can see where the springs had been touching (clunking) when you lift up the car and remove the wheel. I just inserted the silencers starting at the top and then down to where the last of the markings were on each spring. Mine (MY08 - IS250) used two silencers per corner. Thanks!

I also hear a clunking noise when going over speed bumps. Seems to be coming from front passenger side. I had both f-sport shocks and springs installed at the same time. How think is the tein silencer? Wouldnt it raise the height a bit? Where do you put it in? Right above the spring? Any of you guys have pictures?

If you put 1 pair on the the shock that has the noise, it wouldn't raise the height at all and it does solve the clunking noise problem.

Usually the noise are from the rear, I rarely hear anyone complaining about the front. The front springs have so much gap in between the coils so i don't think they are slapping each other at all to create noise.

Sorry to bring up an old thread. Can anyone tell me where I can get the rubber silencers for a good price? I checked online and shipping is 3x the price of the rubber silencers.
