Apparently they can shift about slightlywhen steering, as they're slightly different size than standard springs. Causes a few knocking sounds. Easy to sort though, several threads mention them. I believe you can wrap some of the coils in rubber tubing, which keeps them a bit quieter.

I've also got a set, but yet to fit them. When I do, I'll let you know. Mine will be going on some brand new shocks and STi GroupN top-mounts, so might be tricky for me to comment on the springs alone.

I did notice a pair of springs have tubing around a couple of coils and the other pair have nothing but the pair with tubing look like they go on the rear, maybe wrong!

Yup, mine do to. I believe people also add extra rubber tubing to other coils on the front springs.

Mine came with rubber tubing on the rear. They are longer, but I believe designed to run partially compressed.
