1. how soon did this happen after the coilovers were first installed? a few months
2. how did you deal with this? turn the stereo up
3. how much did this cost? it was free
i wouldnt worry too much. you only really notice the rattles when you have the radio off
my biggest rattle problem is from the rear parcel shelf but thats because ive got some broken clips that i need to fix.
PS: I have a US made Coupe these are knowen to rattle more/have more issues than the japanese made models.
coilovers have never been shown to cause MAJOR issues... i think you're just stressing abit too much.
over time, it's not just mods that cause car rattles and problems, it's general wear and tear and daily driving.
seems like you're already set on getting the coilovers... so get them, install them and see what happens. not everyone has the same issues, every car is different and how u drive them is important too. the tein ss is supposed to be a very street friendly daily driving coilover, so put them on a softer setting and all should be fine.
do get a wheel balance/alignment etc once you've installed them to avoid any problems in future.

Dude DONT WORRY
i have the exact same coilovers in my EG civic...and it rattles like a tommy gun. BUT this is due to the cars age and stiff coilovers just bouncing its guts all over the shop.
Still , handles brilliantly I tell the ladies " its so loud coz its a race car" ehehe
hey ben i just got tein few days ago, which way do u turn for the softer setting its (left) right? its so bumpy where i live damn ghetto, but the turning is crazy.
edit. wat damper settings do ppl leave it on for normal driving?
Im not gettin worked up bout it...jus wanna make sure that they won't cause any problems in future. Regardless im going to use it for street driving and my car is in great cond...so id imagine i shuldnt have any rattling, esp if i set the damper to the softer settings for drive comfort.
I'm going to order them some time this week when i get the time.
As far as install....IS Motor Racing in Rockdale which I've heard great things about quoted me $250 for the install...which im my mind is rather deer in comparison to the $100 that JDMYard offered (im buying the coilovers from them also) or the $85 offered by bennjamin.
So is it really worth it getting them installed at a propper mechanic and paying extra? (I'm not doubting / accusing the skill and reliability of JDMYard or bennjamin...just want to know how most people got their coilovers installed)
Also, i've been hearing that you need to drive them in...how do u do that?
Coil overs are a simple install. Probably the easiest thing I’ve installed. I did my install myself but I have a hoist which makes things a bit easier. $250 seems extremely steep.
