coilovers/springs and interior rattles...

Has anybody else that is lowered on either coilovers or springs noticed an increase in interior rattles or noises? Driving over certain bumps my roof, trunk and doors sound like ****. Anybody else have this problem?

I didn't do mine but I assume from being pretty low that the hard ride loosened some things up a bit. You guys on eibachs?

My Interior and Trunk always rattled even before my Eibach installation..one of the many perks of listening to loud music with full bass on.

I have Eibachs.
A spring drop should not result in "new noises or rattles" unless the springs were not installed correctly. You should double check that all components were re-tightened correctly.

i just ordered some Eibach's what should do to avoid some of that rattling that you guys are talking about. Can it be bc of installation?

My rattles are bc of the flexing of the body on certain angles and bumps due to the stiffness of the suspension. I doubt springs will be of any cause for concern.
