I have just bought and installed progressive H&R lowering springs 29964-1 for Toyota Celica T20 (3S-GE 2.0L engine, 129KW, chassis code ST202). Immediately after install, i noticed clunking noise over even slightly rough terrain. Also noticed that two lower coils are binding together when the car is stationary with no extra load.
 Is this normal? Are those dead coils supposed to be there? Should i buy some sort of spring silencers? My setup includes brand new KYB Excel-G shock absorbers. This post has been edited by wazzuu: Sep 16, 2012 - 2:17 PM |

I had them installed and as soon i heard the noise i took the car back to the shop to deal with the problem. They called me and asked is it OK to shorten the shocks (as everything was fine including all the rubbers, endlinks, etc). I said "yes", mostly because couple of my mates did exactly the same, one of them driving 7th generation Celica TS, and also because the mechanic is a well known and reputable one.
The noise is gone and I'm extremely satisfied with the result, the car handles billion times better and is comfortable enough. @jordisonjr - warranty on my kayabas is now 24mm shorter
