Hello everyone,

I recently recieved and installed my new Ksport GT Pro dampers. The car handles better than with the Kontrol Pros, but I am getting this annoying "klunking, clattering" type noise when I hit small dips and bumps; pretty much whenever the shock absorber actuates up and down.

It is only really annoying in the rear, since I have my back seats removed the noise transfers right to the driver and passenger seat areas.

My question was whether anyone else on this forum has these specific dampers (I had no such problems with my Kontrol Pros). I have read on multiple sites and forums that it is normal with the inverted shock design due to the extra friction caused by the much larger piston.

I just wanted to see if anyone else has any information on the subject or could re-assure me that there is nothing wrong with my dampers.

And before you all might ask, trust me, I installed these properly, and everything is certainly tightened to the appropriate specifications. I even have re-checked all the lock nuts and bolts the re-assure myself that everything is tight and the noise HAS to be coming from the actual dampers.

Here are some pics of the dampers:
