Clunk and rattle after Tein STREET FLEX

I just had Tein Street Flex coilovers installed, which has a true coil-over-strut in the rear, and not the OEM style when the rear strut and springs are separated.

However, I'm starting to hear a rattle and clunk when going over speed bumps and uneven surfaces. At cursing speed is much quieter, but there's still a faint sound resembling a lose washer.

I know there's a thread about it here, but I didn't have this problem with my old setup.

I know there's not that many of you, but for those running TRUE coilovers in the rear, did you guys have this issue?

Rattle pretty much went away after 1 week. I guess it just had to settle in...

always check your upper mounts on the struts after driving a couple hundred miles after installing coils... sometimes they come loose during break in... they will clunk over bumps, especially if they are spherical and not rubber.. i had this issue with the teins on my se-r
