Sorry if I'm chiming in late, but where exactly do you hear knocking issues from? I used to have some with some older coilovers I had in the rear. Turns out that mounting need to be re-tightened. Also make sure that the height adjustment ***** are tight.

^that could very much be it. I think It's important to try and check em every couple months. Hitting bumps and unven roads can loosen up the adjustments, just as a safety precaution of course

You're in Diego, the roads aren't THAT bad. Scrapping is nothing, it's just your undertray, your cats, your y-pipe and maybe the under part of your unpainted front bumper. All replaceable parts I've almost been tucking wheel on 18's for the past month since i got my new Stance LX coils.

knocking only comes from the front.

well, i cranked up the dampening all the way to 30 on all 4. ride is alot stiffer but not bad at all. i've riden worse. seemed to help out alot on the little dips in the road i was getting knocking from. big dips i'm still hitting. i think i need to jack the front up just a tad. streets where i live just arent good for slammed rides.

No, not necessarily. I can guarantee you that it can happen in the rear. It can possibly be that the shock needs more lubing, or something is not aligned or soemthing wrong with the top hat.

*EDIT: I see what you mean, my bad. In his case it comes from the front, I thought you meant in general knocking doesn't come from the rear. I'll still leave what I mentioned in case someone finds it useful.

I believe I figured it out. Since the awd is already higher to begin with. When we slam the car down. The A arm hits the strut tower. I think the knuckle is too long. I wonder if the coupe/z knuckle is the same size or shorter. Might have to look into it.
