i have just bought a blob sti fitted with bc coilovers,the rear n/s is knocking badly and driving me mad but i cant afford a full new set of coilovers

is there a cure for this? can i buy replacements?

any help guys please

cheers

 

Anybody?

 

Im sure you can get the updated mounts

 

I'm sure I heard that the problem with the knocking rears was the pillowball mounts??? That's why they changed back to the more normal rubber mounts.

They're fine with standard top mounts.

 

the issue was the top mounts on older models, the latest ones use rubber mounts but to be fair they are **** anyway and only fit for the bin.

 

Haven't you taken yours over to be set up by Glen in melton? (i forget what they call themselves)

That's them, you taking yours over? I know this is going to sound like i'm being a cheeky **** but honestly i'm not, you'd do well to have it corner weighted and set up by them cos your fahookin huge and they made a real difference to my Type R when I had it done there,and i'm only 13 stone, I'll be taking my blob there when I've done all my handling mods in the new year too, well worth it.

 

Yeah mate i will be going there and no your not being cheeky - i'm used to it.

I hope they have plenty of weights tho........I'm a little over 13 stone

 

I get the odd noise from my bc's which I'm pretty sure used to be your bc's would love to find a fix as it does my sweed in lol

its an easy fix, the method im going to use is chuck the cheap chinese crap in the bin and buy some decent shocks

 

quality.

 

I've recently bought a new age with BC BR's on with the dreaded knock and thought it would be an easy fix by tightening up the nut on the top mount but on closer inspection its the later model with the rubber top mounts and they've torn themselves to bits on both sides, from the receipt I've had in with the car history they just over 2 years old . So I wonder if this could be the same issue with yours??
