Default 5th gen shock knock even with teins

Anyone with coilovers are you still having any noise coming from you rear end? Ive installed tein flex coilovers and it still sounds like i have shock knock. Before i installed the teins i had sprint springs and stock shocks I even did the updated collars that were on the service bulletin and still had noise from the rear. Its really annoying so just asking any prelude owners for opinions or comments.

yea, i have tein basics and the rear sounds like that sometimes, checked if anything is loose and nothing. Shock is almost new so it shouldnt be blown.

.........BUMP

i have kyb gr2's with tein s-tech springs in the rear and i always get shock knock off my right rear. i think the strut is on its way to going out but i've heard about it simply being a problem with the seating of the spring.

You sure its not something like a sway bar bushing, if they wear out the sway bar will hit the mount where the solid rubber should be thus creating a knock, seeing as you have interchanged shocks and still had the problem id almost entirely rule shocks out.
