You need a flat surface on the top of the spring for them to work, and the stock springs definitely aren't flat at the top.

The only thing that fix it is a PROPER roller bearing.
So have Koyo bearing press into all the springs cap of MeisterR coilovers as standard on all McPherson Strut model.



A simple and easy fix to avoid noise.
Because having a "popping" noise everything you are trying to park your car is just not cool.

That's definitely the proper fix, but the torrington bearings are cheaper/easier if someone already has upper spring seats without bearings.
