Coilovers are "louder" I donut get it. Can somebody fill me in?
 

I've seen a couple references to coilovers being "louder" than standard shock/spring combos as of late. First, I thought all that coilovers were are matched shocks and springs. Apparently I was wrong about that. Second, can somebody explain my coilovers would be "louder" than spring/shock upgrades?

thanks,

Something about the helper springs rubbing against the other spring and sand getting in between the
 

two... something along those lines

The only causes could be...
 

deletion of the rubber perch cushions in the coilovers, stiffer springs transmitting more road vibration to the chassis, or confusion as a result of shorter tire sidewalls.

Don't know about helper springs, mine are H&R and they are quiet, no issues.

Yeah, yeah. That's it.

I'm with Dos. H&R's and no additional noise. 0 negative comments about upgrade.

I have the full MTM setup, and there is no additional noise.
 

I think if anything, they are quieter, the Koni's have a high compliance range for short movements, so less bump "edge" noise gets transfered to the body
