So i own a Civic Si 4dr this car has 18k miles on it and i finally decided to drop it on sportlines.....I did the install myself with the help of a fellow 8th/friend Vingavina and we followed all the DIY guidelines on the DIY forums...

Since the install i have been hearing Metal clicking noise when i hit a dip or a small pothole as if two metal plates were hitting each other and not only does it sound annoying but its freaking me out because im scarred something may be loose...

i took pictures of my install if you guys know anything that may help my problem please lmk....THANKS!!!!

Spring didn't seat properally in the strut mounts, also the diameter of the spring is smaller compared to oem which can cause it to travel in the oem mounts. Just double check your 6 nuts for peace of mind, actually torque them to specs.

It's not gonna fall off the car or anything, I wouldn't worry to much. I'm just lazy.

thanks should i take em off and reinstall then??

EnvyMySi

ohh and what would specs be for torque?? 30 lbs?

are you sure you got the right springs...
because the look weird to me....

i believe the spring its not sitting right on the strut.(bottom part).
double check that and make sure the springs are for an SI model
if its an SI....

Well the springs I bought em off a owner of a 2009 si

are the springs supposed to look crooked like that? my old sportlines didnt look like that

they arent crooked, thats jsut the dust cover for the shock, because the lowering springs are shorter than the stock ones its causes the dust cover to bend slightly. Thats why it looks bent.

The number on the springs should be 4.3140. What's yours?

EnvyMySi

The number is fine
