So guys I recently lowered my 2k Se and Im liking it so far.... except one issue: After I did it I get a rattle/clunk from back suspension. Idk where its coming from, but I suspect somewhere in my strut/spring assembly.

Here is what I got: I did Tokico Blues all the way around with Tien S Techs. I also replaced all strut mounts with new units. When we first did it, I didnt have the back strut mounts so I went ahead and used the old ones. Once I started driving, I noticed the noise. It happens on very small imperfections of the road, all the way up to pot holes. Even on the hwy I still hear it from time to time. Then I thought it was the back strut mounts so I bought em and installed em. The noise got louder! **** is driving me nuts! Any suggestions guys? Anyone else had this problem with my setup?

 

Is everything seated properly? Torqued to spec?

 

i had the same issue but, i just got new pads and rotors ,and when the mechanic was installing them he said that one of my rear calipers was loose it wasn't tightened all the way. After that it stoped rattaling in the back of the car, but i still get the clunking in the front i hope that helps

 

S-Tech's for our car's aren't the best springs, and they're more tolerable if you got Illumina's instead of the Blues.

As far as your rattle/clunk, check the exhaust going up and over the beam axle. I had a similar situation, and it was the exhaust. I had it rewelded when I deleted the resonator, and all new hangers installed. Problem solved for me.

 

You still need to tighten up the rear rubber bushing on top of the strut mount.....that's what you hear! It takes two tools a 14mm and a tool to hold the shaft while tightening!

 

Everything is seated properly, I tightened the rubber bushing properly also... I shook the exhaust by hand and it was nice and tight, checked all the obvious things...
TBehr: Im starting to think thats my issue... I wanna blame my equipment but idk.... Like it makes me wanna ride with the music super loud so I dont hear it. There's gotta be a fix
