Squeaky Rear w/ Bilstein coilovers

[molex7]

anyone else with Bilstein coilovers have a slight squeak/rattle in the rear, only during low speed moving. I can't figure out if its normal or if i installed the springs wrong.
I put the springs on like the diagram shows but when i'm moving slow, like taking off from a stop or <5mph, there is some noise in the back. I took everything off and made sure everything was tight but
it still has that low speed clinking sound.

I do remember someone else (racebrewer?) having that issue. I think it had something to do with the threaded rear spring perch.

yea, mine did that the springs would make a sound when compressed on the spring purch. I just jacked the car up and wiggled the spring around then put it back down and it went away.

Ditto. I had a slight rattle/click that went away after everything settled in.

So after driving with these for some time the noises have settled down. I don't think I've ever had a car with aftermarket suspension that didn't make a little noise here and there, but it was a little excessive at first. Also the noise is amplified if your car is autocross ready, without the spare/spare cover/cargo cover, when your car is actually all together the noise is very minimal, usually only on angled ramps.
