mine is doing it in the rear over uneven surfaces, not the front. the springs are sitting in the insulator groove too.

 

just lowerd mine last night and the right front is doing the exact same thing

 

OK thanks guys thats kind of what I figured was going on.

 

the center alignment hole in the top plate is not align with the lower strut support plate.......i made the same mistake once....only once

 

im getting this same noise after coilover install. no hole to line up, and the springs are flat on both sides.

 

exactly this

 

get the tracking aligned immediately too unless you want bold on the outside tyres in 100miles. full geo asap

 

had the same thing on my IV...it fixed itself over time on mine and just stopped popping. havent had any problems so far did job about 5 months ago and no tire wear problems either

 

I just installed my swift sport mach lowering springs on my Evo IX MR and when I turn either direction from a stop I hear this weird "Bang" coming from the suspension area in the front. It doesn't do it all the time but it's really irritating to hear. Anyone have any idea of what it might be? I also tightened everything down to it's specific torque after I installed the springs. Any help would be great.

 

MR? dont they use the Spec R's?

 

MR'S can get sports/ or spec r's.. not everyone wants the harsher ride that comes with the r's/

------------you didnt line up the wholes from the strut top to the strut...

^^ Plus Juan.

 

I had that noise in the beginning as well, at severe slow turns at a full turn almost like a coiling, had the noise for a couple of weeks, checked everything out and it was fine, noise went away, never heard it again, that was 2+ years ago

 

+1 to aligning the holes. But, also, did torque everything down with the car on the ground (specifically the top nut)?

also would having the "wrong" swifts for the MR make that noise? I ordered some Spec Rs last night and there is definitely a different part # for MR vs non-MR.
