Noise in the rear is usually when the spring is to short, when you go over a bump the spring rattles since there isn't enough preload. BC has two spring

Noise in the rear is usually when the spring is to short, when you go over a bump the spring rattles since there isn't enough preload. BC has two spring lengths to offer for the rear, they seem to ship the short one by default but that causes problems unless you have a large drop.

Or set a little extra pre-load. I set 3/8 rather then 1/4 and it was better. A 1/4 I heard a slight noise with on my 350z with those shorter revised springs.

I did maybe a 1.5 inch drop in the rear
