Need some Help BC RACING BR coilover install

hey guys i just bought some brand new BC RACING BR coilovers..i put them in myself everything rode great but the next day i noticed some clunking sounds coming from the front driver side area, i could live with the possibility that this is normal but it doesnt seem to be since the other sides dont make any sounds when i drive over sewers etc...just that one side? is there anything i could check for? i suck at installations? defective coilover? just want to get some options i am gonna take the wheel off tonight to take a good look

some bc's make noises, i think someone said if you mess with the dampening the sound will go away.

Check that the spring is seated properly.

I agree. I have these as well and I stiffened the damper settings and my noises went away. Give it a try!

not reading the instructions > me
what happened was that when i went to adjust the height i used the top 2 rings instead of rotating the bottom part ... so the 2 front coils were just loose...i fail..so i tightened the coils and now there is no sounds... it runs perfectly...now my question is i really dont know how compressed the coil should be since i loosened it?? would anyone have an idea? thanks

just tighten the coil till u could turn them with effort. you don't want them to be too tight that you have to struggle to turn the coils because that would make your ride ruff. just make sure all four are the same tightness so they all ride evenly.
