<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by EBP-Si &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">My sister has a 02 RSX. She got brand new Skunk2 sleeve coilovers installed last week at a local import shop. Everytime she drives her car, theres this clunking sound coming from the front of car. I listened to it and figured out it sounds like the spring is "binding & twisting" or moving around erratically.

She reported that to the import shop and they said its common among RSX suspension. Her and I believe this is untrue cause our other RSX friends don't have this issue.

This sound is really is annoying especially when she is driving like 1-10mph. </TD></TR></TABLE>

yeah, i've never heard anything like that before...

maybe you want to take the car to another shop and see if the first shop messed up the job? i wouldn't take it to the original place, because if they did screw, chances are they'll never admit it.

this was a problem with the em2 and es1 civic's as well.

most found that it was a installer error. or upper bearing mount problem.

take it to another shop and have them look at it.
