About 6 weeks ago I got the HR OE Sport springs installed on my car and a short time later noticed a clunking sound coming out of the rear when I hit any kind of bump at all in the road. Worse with passengers than without, but its there pretty much all of the time. Any one else experience something like this or have any ideas what the problem could be. Car only has about 21K total miles, so I doubted the problem was the shocks. thx for your thoughts.

Huh not really sure..i got h&r sport springs and I only hear a clunk when the wheel hits the fender in the rear because I go over a speedbump to quickly

Did you transfer your rubber sleeves from you stock springs? That may solve your problem, I too have H&Rs and transfered the sleeves over and have no noises.

i had a similar problem when i lowered my accord when i had it.. the people who lowered it forgot to but the bump stops back in so it was bottoming out everytime i hit a bump(big or small)... that is where my noises were coming from

By the way is this pretty noticeable clunk noise every time you hit a bump or is it not really noticeable but you hear it cuz your concentrating on hearing something more

Hey,
I just picked up a 2001 3.2 S type and am looking to lower about 1"..
I've been directed to the Koni adj and the H & R springs...Shox.com
is one place to shop...has anyone found a cheaper place or, a group
price someplace??? Also, can i just go with the H/R Springs and
stock shocks? Thanks

pooky, i have 60 k on my 01 cls. stock shocks with H&R Sport springs . the springs lowered the front and rear approx 1 1/2 inches. i've experianced no problems yet with the stock shocks

AuCLsMan,

Thanks for your input! I was sort of thinking the same thing. The stock
shocks seem pretty stiff and didn't really want to go any stiffer so, just
thought about the Spring idea alone...BTW, where did you buy your springs??

its just plain noticeable; not really concentrating on it; its really hard to miss and my daughter was in the car with me today and thought it was really objectionable. Going back to the installer on Monday to see what the problem is.....will let you know what I find out

I am hearing a similiar noise when I go over big bumps or when I have 3 plus people in the car over small and big bumps. I have comptech springs with tokico blue shocks and I started hearing the noise after the install. The noise primarily comes from the rear passenger side. I want to make sure they did the install correctly, what can I look for? I know the rubber sleeves where mentioned, would this apply to the tokico shocks? Also bump stops were mentioned, would I be able to see these by looking at the car?
