Default eibach sportline - rear springs aren't captive

Hi All,


i recently got sportline/koni yellows installed on my cd5. the rear springs arent captive. i can hear the springs clunk over bumps

i didnt install it and i'm a noob at suspension. any possible ideas why the springs arent captive (because they're meant to be according to eibach)

i realise i only gave a general description of my install, please ask any specifics as i dont know what else to say

What do you mean by captive. Their might be a little noise if you just put them on, until they settle in.

captive mean springs sit slightly under pressure between the shocks perch and the top hat, just like the factory ones.

so when you go over bumps or pot holes, the springs should besecure and not make any cluncky noise


btw..there is no noise from the front ones at all.
