coilovers clunking

[darkstar5456]

ok well to start things out i bought my tsi fwd with coilovers. Bad part is it seems the right front and back left coilovers clunk badly. They are tighten down bolts are not loose but yet it seems that the coilovers are loose as crap really clunks around on the road. So i am kinda confused as to what it is someones adivce or thought would be greatly needed thanks guys

What brand are they? And its most likely the springs banding into the struts your hearing. How lowered is the car?

There's your reason. . .

Could be a suspension part that is lose, causing the clunking, blown shocks, bottoming out? Or just the fact it's an ebay coil over.

"hella low" - Id bet money you're bottoming out

If you intend on lowering the car that low, you need to go with a better brand. Tein, Bilstein to name a few. I prefer Bilstein, I had my old beamer lowered on them and honestly it was the best suspension I had ever felt.

2G dsm have very little suspension travel anyway, now that your "hella low" its just riding on the bump stops.

We just had a guy with broken ebay springs...

I'm willing to bet you're only talking about the shock nut being tight. Were the coilovers installed correctly? All collars and spacers installed? Are the a-arm bolts and all other suspension component bolts tight? I've seen shocks installed on springs without the collar and they rattle terribly. I've also seen loose upper a-arm bolts that makes for a very loud, and very unsafe install.

Are you saying that things are loose, such as the springs, themselves, when the car is sitting on the tires? Or are things only loose when you lift the car off the ground?
