Installed Tein Flex A
 
Hello everyone,

I just installed the tein Flex a coilovers on my 2013 frs, and when I drive around on uneven roads or even slights bumps I hear some clanking/scrapping sounds. I only dropped it an 1". I wonder if anyone could help me out on what the issue is.

Check torques?

Check preload.

I have these, and i had the same issue. Put it back up on the jack stands and torqued the hell out of the spring preload (i mean, to get to the torque value from the instructions) - it had worked itself loose so it was making noise. I think the issue was that it was difficult to get it torqued all the way using the wrenches it came with.
