Sounds like a really good deal. But seeing donutfilling trying to sell the same ones with no luck makes it sound not-so good. What sort of sound is it making? Is it like a squeaking sound or more of a knocking sound?

How loud is it? I guess maybe the best way to describe it in words would be to compare it to music playing in the car. For example, for the sound to be fully drowned out by the radio, you'd have to have it too loud to have a conversation with a passenger.

And do you have a picture of your car at max low? I'm wondering what that looks like.

i dont know if your sound is the same. Mine happened in very specific situations, I have to park on the 4rth floor of a parking structure and when I travel down it clunks a lot. The noise was noticeable like you can hear it over normal music volume. My set is sold btw. This is all experience before the update btw, no experience with them after.

Its not that loud, but noticable. When my audio is on icant hear it. I have maybe like less than a finger gap at the front and 1 1/2 gap at the rears, they havent settled yet, so im guessing they'll drop 1/4-1/2 an inch.

On uneven pavement and going up bumps i can hear the noise at low speeds (<20mph), maybe pretty similar to yours. Im surpriaed you got to sell them for the price you were asking for. If only they dont generate noise, i'd keep these. But i just cant swallow the fact that these coils sound like they've been on my car for 10 years.

yea, the ride was fine and as far as i could tell improved performance wise but just the noise on street was a bit annoying. I think different top hats would solve the issue but who knows.

Were you the one that brought your car back to Eibach for further R&D?

I thought the same too. And a friend of mine said that the top hat design was bad, dont know what he meant by that. But if they had top hats like the KW Clubsports, they'd be better.

Wow, heck of a deal. They are noisy but for people who don't care they perform excellent and at that price, wow...a steal.

For guys who run exhausts, etc or listen to loud music...you won't even hear them.
