Quick question to the OP. I also have just installed my s coils only on my gd3. I am noticing some knocking on small bumps even when not turning or even close to full lock. Did you rubbing issue ever have a knocking sound to it? I've only had the springs on the car for less then 48 hrs and have yet to see signs on inner fender rub. Thanks

Guy

never had a knocking sound with anything. there shouldn't be a knocking sound. lol. something might be loose, or not set in right.

Yea I agree haha. Monday night I went through and ensured that everything I touched was torque to spec, and I still have the noise. Its pretty unnerving. Sent emails to T1R and A&J Racing. Waiting to hear back from both.

Thanks anyway though.

man.... i dont rub at all.... and im low with 17x8 +25, pulled fenders only slightly... ? i think people expect too much with lowering springs and no fender mods.... you modify suspension, you need to modify fender wells if they require it
