For those with the Tein SS coilover setup:
do you have a slight knocking noise going over small bumps? this can be heard from mainly the front coilovers.
i know its a floating spring setup, but the noise just seems odd.

is there any noise at all with the TEIN ss (no radio on)? please put me at ease and say there is. thanks.

are you its from the front. i have heard of this noise coming from the rear before and it is normally from lose end links.

deifnitely teh front, i have the occassional rear squeaks, but i understand water gets lodged up in there from time to time and thats the reason.

I'm more concerned about teh fronts, its a faint knocking noise, but i just wanted to see if it was normal for our car to have noise from the Tein ss setup,

coltsicehockey: do you have the Tein SS? if so, do you have ANY noise whatsoever from the fronts when you're driving? (no radio). thanks in advance.

I have the tein flex and only have noise from the rear when my endlinks are lose or it is really really cold out. also I am not sure where the front endlinks are but you may want to check to see if they are tight.

I think I have the same noise as yours. So far the only real answer I could get is that the SS doesn't have any preload adjustment and because the way they were designed there will be a bit of "play" under certain bumps.
However, I believe there must be a solution to this. I'm thinkint about taking the car to an authorized TEIN dealer and see if they could get ride of the noise.
I have the SS and default height.

I have installed at least a dozen Basic and SS kits in TSXs and have never had any sounds. Something in there is not right. Either something is loose, or there is a washer missing, or something is not lined up right. Check your swaybar links in the front too.
