Is your clubbie noisey?

Seems like the rear of mine is always banging.. Such a annoying sound I do have Meagan coils set on softest rear sway bar and only lowered 1.5 inches stock 16 with all seasons and 17 with summer tires.... Only have 80k miles

What type of noise do you hear? A clunking? How long ago did you install the coils?

Could be end links. Just replaced mine this weekend with sway bar bushings. Easy replacement if yours are original

In my opinion, clunking definitely sounds like struts/shocks to me. It's been known that Megan Racing stuff isn't top quality so it could be them. I would just check out all your suspension components/bushings to see if any look worn or torn. Could be something loose on the coil too, as I've had that happen after an aggressive track day, but not sure if that would be at all relevant in your case. Could also have someone sit in the trunk as you just drive around the neighborhood to help pin point exactly where the noise is coming from. Let us know what you find!

Since I switched to non-runflats, I can't believe how quiet my car is now. I have the standard suspension, no sunroof and 17" Continental DWS tires. I can't complain about the stock shocks either.
