I recently replaced my rear springs from Canuck Motorsports and two weeks later I still get the coils slapping each other in the back with every little bump. I've never had any issues with the fronts, just the rears. I spotted the SSC springs form CobaltAddiction.com and notice there is a difference, but the part # is the same. If you notice the CM's vs. the SSC's, the SSC's rears are spread vs. the CM's have three coils that are close to each other. Can someone share some info and experience with SSC's and CM's? Here are some pics.

CM's











SSC's

 

they are just coil slapping each other with every little bump. Just gonna go to my local hardware store and create my own simple home made rubber silencers to reduce the noise similar to Tein's Rubber Silencers.

 

Here is my solution:



It costs me close to $5 from Lowe's Hardware Store. Its 5/8 or 1/2 inch inlet Clear Vinyl Tubing. Gonna cut each piece 10 inches and have 3 or 4 pieces on each rear spring. These are gonna have a similar look to the silence rubbers like Ark, Teins, and Megan's have already installed to reduce the noise.

 

what kind of noise does it make? i have a squeak that i dont know where its coming from. might be my rear springs maybe

 

you'll hear metal to metal hit in the back with no effort. the coils are slapping each other with little bumps. so I'm making my own rubber silencers to elminate it. just got done making 8 pieces. all of them are 10 inches.

Here is a pic of the home made rubber silencers.

 

Thats strange they didn't come with the rubber tubes around them. My sportlines had them already installed. Also with a clear lubricant inside.

 

Well..., I finally silence the coil slapping with the home made rubber silencers.

Here is the finish product:



Took it on the bumpy street of mine and had zero clunking in the back, but however had some rough hits, which had the be the silencers. I moved the top one down and left the coil on top exposed, so I have zero noise and its finally quiet. Highly recommend it for anyone who have SSC's or CM's. The Clear Vinyl Hose can withstand 175F until it starts to melt, so its gonna hold up and also protect the springs from being paint chipped for a long time.

 

Gee, with the rubber added they now look kind of like a pair of Eibach ProKit springs I own...

hmm interesting, i've been trying to figure out the clunk in my rear end with my springs and now that you bring that up, it makes perfect sense that i'm experiencing the same thing. i shall have to try this on payday.

 

SSC and CM are the same company, i asked them a few years ago, something like SSC sells whole sale, CM is for customers or something like that.

 

I just installed cm's and they look like the ssc's. did you get the right springs?

 

depending what your rear springs look like
