Had this full kit fitted the other day and was wondering about the issues that people have been having with it i.e spring chatter knocking noises etc,

The reason I ask is that have heard a slight rattle from the passenger side and was wondering if this is the dreded spring chat?:panic:
If so was wondering what people have done to cure this issue in the unlikely event that I need to sort it.

And yes I have used the search button but knowone seems to have a deffinate answer to this question or posted there final answers on this is how I sorted it.

Help much appreciated people.:y:

I had this issue with mine on both sides - very annoying. When the springs compress under pressure, the coils hit each other making that noise you hear. Seems to be one of those issues that some people get, others don't.

I e-mailed Spax and they suggested wrapping the top and bottom few coils of the spring in clear plastic tubing (as you'll see with Eibach springs). The garage that lowered my car sourced some tubing (garden hosepipe with a thin wall) and wrapped the top and bottom two coils of the springs with it - noise gone. :)

The front of the car will raise ever so slightly, so try and find some thin walled tubing from B&Q etc.
