Hey guys,

I had coilovers fitted last week there, JOM jobbies like a lot of people on this, and I wanted to know if you could help me.

Here are the problems that I will try to describe to you as best as possible:

Spring Popping Noise

This noise happens when turning. I would imagine the noise being due to the spring compressing, but this is just plain annoying. I shouldn't have to listen to that.

Rumble

I have this annoying rumble coming - I think - from the passengers side rear quarter. It does this noise when going slightly right, say, going round a roundabout and you flick your steering wheel left before going right; as soon as you hit that angle it makes this distinct rumble that sounds like it's coming from the wheel itself.

Before I had these fitted, the car made no troublesome noise whatsoever.

I have fitted shorter droplinks.

The gap between arch and tyre is about 1 inch.

Thread count wise, your talking 23 on the fronts (from the bottom where the threads start to the bottom of the C Spanner ring.) and 10 on the backs.

I haven't had much luck with coilovers, and I am seriously beginning to think I should just knock it back to standard again.

Does anyone have a rough idea as to what the problems could be (other than the fact I bought JOMS...) and how to best remedy the problems?

Cheers in advance!

Ally.

Not terribly helpful I know but joms are cheap for a reason.

Would be worth checking bolt tightness and front top mounts though. Also, most shortened drop links are known to be poor quality so check these too.

How long have you had them on for

He does say last week in the op

I've had them on since last week, The top mounts were from the original shocks and they looked brand new when switching them over.

The shortened droplinks are brand new.

Hmmmmmm..... check top mounts, outer cv joints and the wheel bolts are tight.

all i have ever run is JOMS and never had any problems

Found when i had JOMS the spring popping noise ended up being the top mount, replaced that and the noise went, though i would get it checked out first before spending the money

If you fancy changing I have some FK's to get ride of. Almost new

how much for fk's?
