Nope! 
I'll probably be installing all of it the same day, it'll be like, BAM! New car!

Im in nyc bk and this is my tein advance set up 7 clicks from stiff front and 10 in the rear and i have it for about 6 weeks but since last week i've been hearing a light click or thump in the front left side when i drive over bumps etc. It doesnt happen all the time but its there and Im clueless to what could it be, any suggestion would be a + and my coilovers only have less than 150 miles on them....i was also thinking putting the stock back on and let the dealer DEAL with it(im still under full warranty)
, Im learning as i go.....

They look like this and can cause dumping sound over bumps if bad......have a mechanic check em out ,they are suppost to be stiff.......if not migh be hiring shock tower from so low!......
Last but not least and not common might be a faulty Coilover or assembled wrong!

With the Tein...I would imagine it's an install issue, or something along those lines...if you have a front camber kit (with the upper adjustable bolt) and are maxed on the coils, you are bottoming out on the shock tower!
If not, check the endlinks on your sway bars, but I bet something is loose.

Hey eats, no tire wear yet, tires are still new and dialing in the suspension still, getting it aligned soon too, just found out that one of my wheels were leaking so I have to diassemble and reseal the wheel, what a pain.

borrow the spring compressor and just swap tophats. 
Adds about 45 min. total to the install...but still not bad IMO.
camber kit, you can easily get away with none for quite some time. With it set to almost all the way down I had -2 front camber and -2.5 rear...but with toe set properly, it was fine.
installation, with adjusting of the height takes about 4 hours if you know what you're doing.
Ask a couple of local forum members to help out and knock it out over lunch or something.

Well mine have 60-70k on them (bought them used), and came with an EDFC which I was too lazy to install, so I sold it. Therefore I do not have the click assemblies (Yes I can buy them, but thats 60 bux)....
plus I have a click that just developed on my front drivers side when I go over a speed bump slow....what could that be? I figured it has the be the suspension considering I just had my rack replaced and decided to have Honda slap in a nice new Type-S front sway bar for me, so it cant be the endlinks since they are new (unless they messed up when drilling the bigger hole in the LCA)...but I cant get under my car to look until I move to my new place which has an actual garage instead of a freaking gravel road..
Also, how long do our top hats last? Do any of those parts ever wear out? I would like to reuse my existing ones, but want to make sure they are not causing any problems (which is why I am inclined to buy new ones)....This would be the last of my entire front end being replaced if I went through withit (new cv axles, LCA bushings, rack, tie rods all in the last year)
