Default Skunk2 Coilovers

Hi, I have a 94 civic ex. I just put some skunk2 full coilovers with top mounts on it, last month. The first few weeks it was riding good. Now after that I keep hearing my springs rattling around. Every time I drive I would hear something shaking. Is it the springs or cambers? I know my shocks aren't blown because my car rides stiff and fine. Does anybody know why this is happening?

make sure you have the cushion on the inside of the sleeves. they prevent (or try to) the sleeves from moving around while you are driving.

definetly not your camber making noise.

what kind of shocks?

and your springs can't "rattle around" they are supporting the weight of your car, there is no room for them to "rattle"

Im going to say that the cushions on the top mounts are not there or are not installed properly thus allowing metal to metal contact and noise.

How much is the car dropped?

Its either the cushion on the top of the mounts or there is a metal piece thats small in the middle/top of the shock right where the top mounts go that mights have moved

My car is drop pretty low. I don't know, I think my shock is just blown . I though Skunk2 can handle how much i drop it. Only thing is my front coilovers do it only, not my back coilovers.
