Keep in mind, if I decide that the dampening is not good enough for my likings I will just buy another set and sell these cheap!

I have found the noise in the rear to be the hard foam in the bumper flopping around. I have insulated it with more foam and the noise is gone!
The front sway bar bushing seems to make a squeak noise with ambient temps lower then freezing. I've made sure to lube accorddingly but it still happens. 40 degrees and up equals zero noise...weird!

As for the coilovers, zero problems. I've turned the rears almost to complete soft to help with the sharp bouncy feel. Still feel the price is worth it!!!!!!!!!

Hey Kev,

Do you have any pics of the inside of your trunk or wherever the rear dampening knobs are? The reason I ask is because mine are on top of the coilovers and the shop that installed mine cut small holes in the plastic covering the rear towers so I could have easy access to the knobs. At first, I didn't think anything of it, but now it's starting to bother me that they cut holes in my car. As soon as I get pics of the install, I will be sure to post them.

Sorry Eric, I missed your post! I got the most recent version which has the adjustment on the side of the shaft. I just have to jack the car up a bit and reach under the fender to adjust!
