How noisy are your BC coilovers?

[rmcat]

I know coilover normally means more noise,and I've seen some people saying that their BC's are making noise here and there,swaybar endlinks/strut mount nuts/strut bearings/spring binding causing noise when turning steel wheel/spring badly preloads/etc...

My question is how are your BC coilovers in term of making noise,do they start making noise right after installating,or after a few weeks/months,or has been quite like OEM from the begining? Are higher end coilovers such as H&R/KW/Tein normally less noisy due to better material?

I just installed BC coilovers on Monday. I do not notice any increased noise, although my tires have always been noisy which may drown out any new sounds. So far, I cannot be happier with them. Easy to install and adjust, and the ride quality is much better than my blown OEM suspension. Honestly, the bumps are harsher, but doable. I have mine set to 13/33 front and 16/33 rear in terms of damping. 33=hardest 0=softest

Mine are very noisy! Squeaks and rattles all the time. Endlinks are noisy too. I need to tighten them more and maybe apply more lube on the swaybar.

mine make some noise, but nothing too over the top. Ive had them on for about 40k too. O.G. BR types FTW!!

don't really have any noise complaints with my BC's. the biggest thing is to re-tighten all of the bolts a few miles after installation and that should take care of any clunking in the suspension.

Only one answer to noisy suspension parts....Turn the stereo up! In all seriousness though. I haven't had a problem with mine. I think it depends on how they are installed. Do it professionally and you'll be fine. It something rattles, take it back to the shop that installed them.

Why pay for something so simple?!
