    Suspension Thumping

    I got defected so had to raise my coils, since then, on the front left coilover (over the bumps that count) there's a slight thumping noise.

    I replaced all the mounts with Heavy Duty VR6 mounts from ECS, so I doubt it would be them.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    He got CXRacing's which are decent.
    My noob instincts say to check the top strut bolts are done up properly, as if loose they'll thump when unweighting the car over a bump.

    Thanks everyone.. I got my Blue Slip and brang it home, jacked it up and had another look. It seems that when i was raising it, i had done the front left wrong (noob mistake) and the bottom of the thread had started to come through the bottom of the whole assembly, which was knocking on the (hub)? All fixed now though, thanks again.

    and yeah, i have CXRacing coils.

    So after driving today I realized I hadn't fixed the problem. Going to have to take it apart next week when I have time to.
