KW Coilovers

SnorLAX · 03-27-2009, 11:32 AM

Hello I have the KW coilovers and i wanted to know if mine is normal. when i go over speed bumps i hear like the shocks going in (shooook)... it is hard to explain but is that normal?

you check all mounting points for loose nuts?

yea everything is tight it makes the sound on both sides.. i heard other stock cars too that makes that same noise... sounds like the shock going in fast or something...

I think you are just hearing the compression of the piston in the shock.

Most have reported hearing the shock over speed bumps.
It's normal.
