Living with suspension noise

For all of you who have coilovers, did any one ever find a solution/trick to minimize suspension noise?? I have been told that aftermarket suspension and noise go hand in hand, but someone has got to have some tricks in their bag to make the noise go away, anyone??

So what noises are you hearing? Clunk and clangs? I just spent weeks getting to the bottom (sorry) of my own clunks.

Now, the only noises I hear besides rubber turning to ash is the slow speed shock/gas compression sounds.

Are you talking real coil overs like JIC FLT A2 or are you talking about Ground control hack&chop sleaves?

If you are talking about the real thing then something must be wrong in the installation, or they may need a small rubber gasket between pillow ball mount and shock tower(bicycle innertubes cut up can do the trick!)

Plus check for all bolts and seats(spring) to be tight.

if you have Ground Control sleave type your just plain screwed cuz those thing clang and gong like a m/f.

Your friendly neighborhood magicman
