Hey guys,

I installed my Neuspeed sport springs this weekend on my 08 civic si,
the springs are for the 06 model, I was told they are all compatible from 06-08,

Ever since the install the car looks and controls great, but there is one problem
I get a knocking sound when i slowly turn the from wheels, and also another knocking sound when I hit bumps going slow in the rear,

What is happing? and how can I fix it?????

Thanks alot guys I need your help

The spring are not seated properly on the strut in the front. you'd have to take it off and make sure the springs are seated properly. There should be a notch where you need to make sure your spring "butts" up against...

I put the rubber sleeve that was on the stock spring then put the rubber pin in the hole on the shock, but i will double check that, what about for the rear?

When did you put the suspension on? Sometimes it takes a day or 2 of driving to knock the springs seated on the perch. Sometimes that doesn't work and you have to take it out and properly seat them. That goes for the rear too.

Last Thursday...

Ill try to uninstall and reinstall them tomorrow, is it dangerous to the car to drive with them not seated properly??

i had the same prob after i installed them on 2 si's
and after a week they stopped im assuming they bounced into place.

What are the chances that they don't bounce back into place??

just re-seat them, and make sure EVERYTHING is tight, double check everything, then check it all again
