speaking of crooked, I think I'm finally paying the price for getting rear ended 6 months ago, with the springs pre-loaded the same and the shock tubes threaded in the same lengths the drivers side sits ~3/4" lower than the passengers on the rear, I adjusted it up some but don't want to spend too much time cause I figure they'll all settle and need adjusted in a week or two.

I agree completely with Stephen and John...this is an issue with MDU, not the driver/install. My noise has been present and constant pretty much since day one. I was so excited to be low when I first got them that I dismissed it as "just what coilovers do." After being in other rides with other coilover setups, the clunking/rattling is NOT what coilovers do (normally). This is frustrating for many of us and we have all tried various approaches to minimize the noise.

I would not be surprised if my coil was blown a while back. I never bothered to look at the piston to see if it was wet. I never would have thought that I could have blown a coilover that fast (especially since I don't track mine yet). As I recall, Ninja1 had 2 coils blown right out of the box. Sooooo.....
