Default TEIN Superstreet with topmount reliability

Do these things stand up well??? Mine have been on now for 2 months and i think there is a slight rattle knocking coming from the top mounts... I know they r under warranty n all but surly they should last longer than 8 weeks...

Just an update should anyone be interested...

We had the car up on a ramp and nothing had any play in it, still the top mounts might have been failing... I have the car setup 2 clicks from soft all round, we adjusted the fronts up to 6 and went for a drive and the knocking went away and the car was a lot harded so the shocks are def working as they should be, set them back to 2 from soft after a 10 min drive and the knocking has now gone... not sure why but its def gone and the car feel firmer again on the front end, it would then seem that these adjustable shocks arnt happy sitting at the same setting for a long time... anyone care to confirm if this is true???

I have had some odd clonking noises from time to time. On the odd corner Seems to be worse on the softer damping settings.

From the snds of it - it either the spring or helper spring. Shock still works fine.
