Exclamation HELP!! Stance GR + Pro Coilovers (Lots of popping/crackling sounds)

Im currently running Stance GR + Pro coilovers. I bought them used. I have 15 different settings for the front and rear springs (15 being the hardest and 1 being the softest) . My fronts ride nice and smooth: set at 7 clicks. My rears must have some sort of CRAZY spring rate because they are set on 1 click and are still causing me and my passengers to fly out of our sets when we are on bumpyish roads (roads that normally didn't cause my OEM suspension to bounce what so ever)..

Along with my spring issues (well, i think thats the issue) my suspension creeks and pops 24/7. I especially notice that my car pops when i'm turning on steep hill or turning my car all the way to one side when driving slowly.

Even when driving on a flat street every line in the concrete causes a loud sound (from the rear), that gets extremely annoying.

Its to the point now where these coilovers are irritating me so much that i was thinking about even selling them.

Then again, maybe getting new springs with a more logical spring rate for every day driving would fix the problem. I just cant deal with the loudness anymore.

Any advice would be welcome.

more details about the "loud sound" from the rear?

also, is the popping noise coming from the front? might be a compression rod issue.

also, how many miles on the set?

Take them off and put them back on. Put the car on the lift and take a look. Try shaking a few parts to hear the noise

Go to Stance web site they have a FAQ section and they talk about the popping and the other sound you are talking about.
