Noisy PSS9 when going over bumps

Just had a PSS9 put in and it makes a clunking noise in the front going over a curb into a driveway. Driving seems to be fine.

Someone said I need to get the shocks shrink wrapped and need to have teflon bushings to get rid of the noise. None of these parts were in the kit when I got it.

What have you all done with your PSS9 to get it quiet?

US Version I'd say. At this point you won't see any new Euro Installs. The Euro has gone up over 50% against the US$ since 2001.

That makes any grey market imports a loss leader.

I am interested as well. Euro or US versions. Regarding the above quote, makes perfect sense, however, there are Euro versions in stock at tuning shops that were bought prior to the strenghtening of the Euro vs the Dollar. Maybe he bought an off the shelf Euro PSS-9? Verification please.

I bought Euro's from Gert last August. They made a little noise at first but settled down. No more noise.

Did you install them yourself. I understand you really have to have a pro do it. I paid $1K to get them installed but these guys have installed many coilovers and were highly recommended.

Give it sometime or take it to someone that can give them a quick look. Who knows they might find something. If not take it back to the guy who installed them.
