imma have to check that out in a few when i get home. As my sig indicates, I've got a '97 Accord. All I saw was black covered coils when I took the OEM springs off. But I'll check to see if I overlooked something.

 

I've had Eibach Pro-kits and Eibach camber kit on my car for some time. The springs for over 3 years. Never had any clunking ever?

My friends stock lude had some clunking under warranty. The cause was that the rear strut isolator bushing wear over time prematurely on most 97+ Ludes. Not sure if this is much help but its the only clunking I can ever recall hearing in a honda.

 

My right rear of the pro kit does the same exact thing, im going to go look and see if my stock springs have a "silencer" on them. I hate the noise and every girl in the car goes what is that noise

 

:werd:

 

I still think they should have went w/ a linear spring. having my spring coils sit on each other and possibly hitting each other arent worth it. =\

one thing to think about. I read in a TSB somewhere that one of the 4th gen accords trims/years might have stock coil wrapping of some sort on the springs or something. I might look into that if I have time.

The problem w/ using the lower rubber piece ("silencer") off the stock spring/struts is that my new perch is flat, wheres the stock one was kinda a molded cone. =\

 

i have the apexi world sport coilovers on my 6thgen sedan and i get the clunking noise bad, its much worse when its cold outside 40 degrees or colder, if its over 70 degrees the noise is almost un noticalbe except over large bumps. no one can figure out what its is so i just ignore it.

 

Another issue may be that your bumpstops are moving.
Wait, you need to hear why before you slam this.

The Eibach kit said to trim the bumpstops. However, when this is done the rear bumpstop on the accord gen 6 will bounce up an down. My shop made some compression fittings to keep my bumpstops from bouncing up and down as the rears are hollow unlike the front, and they will fall down the shock shaft. Jschmiddy's shop likely did the same to his in the rear[h&r's]. In any case I drive hard and have never had any noise from the rear of my car. My Eibachs have been in and out twice so far to install koni's and the springs are still golden.

Again my buddies 2000 Lude had worn rear shock bushings that caused a clunk that sounded like the muffler hitting something. Again it turned out to be worn shock bushings it happened worse in the winter. This noise appeared around 29k mi and he had them replaced under warranty, problem solved but the dealer said it would return eventually, perhaps your bushings were man handled too much during your install and they need to be replaced? Perhaps your factory shocks are wornout aswell and need replaced.

Your prokits should have also had a rubber sleeve that fit around were spings hit on coil bind. The directions state to postion these sleeves as the stock ones were placed, was this done aswell? BTW-stock springs are progressive too--they coil bind as well that is why they have rubber sleeve too. Again, 3 years, 40k mi of hard use and my Eibach prokits perform with out complaint, I would seriously second guess your install, your directions may have also called for the transplanting of the OEM rubber sleeves to the prokits. This had to be done with springs out of the car.

 

the sportlines that i used to have in my accord would clunk in the back when i angled up steep driveways. the rear suspension would reach full extention (rear wheel in the air) and the spring would unseat from the shock, making a "brung" sound
