Default Koni Yellows & Skunk2 Coilovers.... CLINGING SOUND??

When I'm driving, I here a clinging sound coming from the rear. Could it be my suspension? It only makes the sound when I go over little dips and bumps on the road. What could it be? HELP ME H-T! PLZ

You are driving a time bomb. Skunk 2 coilover sleeves are NOT meant to be used with Koni sports. There have been numerous thread about failures resulting from this combonation.

I asume you have the coilover sleeve sitting on the silver spring perches. Those silver spring perches are NOT designed to be loaded like that, and the circlip that they sit on will be subject to failure because of this. Ground control makes a sleeve that is specially designed to sit directly on the circlip without the lower spring perch. This is the only way to use coilovers safely with Koni sport shocks.

If you have questions, just IM "CRX Lee" for info. He is Honda-Tech's local Koni rep. He can point you in the right direction...
