I haven't had my spring noise since I posted about it *knock on wood* bit it was only happening once per drive and was difficult to replicate. It may have solved itself.

Totally understood, my post was geared more towards those considering customizing the B14's with a revalve and stiffer rates for autox/hpde/racecar/'because I want to' reasons.
I'm positive my rears are clunking either due to the spring adapters I made or there's a slim chance it's my LCA. My fronts are great right now as well (once I remembered to torque the top strut nut
) but at near OE ride height my springs are loose at full droop, looser when the car is lowered. I'll likely go to a 6"+helper setup eventually but these are good for now.
Another thing I'd like to mention is
for those changing the rear springs don't forget dustboots, the OE boots Bilstein has you re-use are too large for even a 2.5" spring iirc (doesn't fit through the 60mm end of the B14's springs). I tried cutting a section out but that didn't really buy me very much but I think a shorter version of the dust boots provided on the front would work well, going to try and order a pair from bilstein or someone else sometime soon. I'll post the p/n if I find it.
Also don't forget coilbind when selecting springs, make sure that at full compression of your suspension your springs don't bind first.
