Ground control spring problems.

I had my ground control coil overs and tokiko shocks on my car for maybe a month now...at low speeds, turns, and speed bumps, i hear intense spring poping sounds comming from the front, and occasionally on the back.

i read some posts on this people said it was normal, and some said it was because of my coil overs, others said it was because of a piece of rubber.

does anyone know whats really going on or had experiences? little poping noises i can understand...but this is pretty severe popping. :cry:

GC coilovers are the biggest pieces of sh*t ever. There were many topics talking about them already. Just get Eibach springs, or JIC coilovers, they won't fail on your WHILE you are driving.

Agreed 100%. I have heard nothing but bad things about them. I have the tokico/eibach combo and there is no noise.

For some reason, GC really overlooked a lot of sh*t for these. The main reason for the noise you're experiencing is due to the reason that none came with some rubber piece that every other coilover did.
