I've narrowed it down to like 3 possibilities to check... (oh and that was me who started the thread)

1) the tightly wound coils unwind over a bump as they lengthen and slam into each other because the springrate of those coils are really low, thus they compress/decompress too easily ( don't even see why eibach used those instead of linear rate springs).

solution could be to use the coil wrap like someone suggseted

2) the 2 strut bushings (inner and outer) might be too worn and compressed, thus there is play and it allows the strut or something to bang when the suspension moves.

solution would be to add washers or to try new bushings and washers to fill up the space

3) There might not be enough suspension travel for isntances where the spring lengthens (not compresses). I believe this occurs when the springs are installed on a low perch setting, thus you barely compress the spring a little to get the top strut mount on... meaning it only has that little bit of room when the springs lengthens over a pothole or something...

possible solution is to move the springs on a higher perch and thus give it more initial compression?? (might require a spring compressor).

anyone agree/see some of these theories? any corrections? suggestions? other theories?
