Angry These ksports keep clunking

Okay so I am new here and I don't know if this is I'm the right thread areas for this but this is very annoying. So I installed Ksport Kontrol Pros in the back of me cobalt Supercharged yesterday and now They make like a metal clunk noise and I already disassembled the back 2x and it still makes the metal clunk/grinding. Everything is sitting correctly (relying on directions) and all bolts are torqued up. Has this happened anyone before. Any suggestions?

P.s. I know I haven't changed my name or anything her I plan on doing that later

I'm guessing you are talking about springs? If you are they probably have dead coils by design. If they don't have rubber or plastic isolators on the springs they will bang together making a clanging noise.

What I meant was the springs don't have the rubber isolators. Shouldn't they come with isolators? I have my storylines still and they Have the rubber isolators. Should I put those in the Ksport springs?

I have a similar issue but with some other coils. They are used Manzo coils, and in the rear I placed the end of the coils that's tightly packed upwards. What you did was place them downwards?

Pick up a few packs of Tein coil insulators. They will solve your metal on metal clunk from the dead coils.

Fyi, dead coils should be placed at the top.
