Has the suspension made the noise from the beginning?
How long suspension been in?
Are KONI inserts tight?
Are Tophats tight?
Are Lower mounting bolts tight?
Are the 3 upper nuts tight?
FSB endlink nuts tight?

i checked my suspension today, i checked the top 3 bolts and the other bolts, and not sure whats still wrong.

suspensions has been in for a while. my car has 11k miles on it, and probably 6k with the new suspension.

Check the endlink on your sway bar. Mine busted on my EM2 during an AutoX run and made the same noise until I replaced it.

how long have you been hearing this noise? Did you remember to check the bolts that hold the shock into the housing.
