Long story short. I purchased Swift Springs which come with one silencer for the fronts. Had them installed by a mechanic who has a ton of experience with M, RS and 911’s. Ride quality is still is OEM but sportier and less body roll - what you would expect from aftermarket springs. However, driving home I heard metallic sounding clicking/clunking sounds when going over bumps. Brought the car back to my mechanic and he found the top coils on the front were missing paint from binding. We adjusted the silencers upwards to fix the issue but there was still binding. Reached out to Swift , diagnosed the issue and they sent me an additional silencer for the fronts to fully wrap the top coils. Now, everything is all good. No noise at all. Kudos to Meraki and Swift from good customer service.

That's interesting - Swift is supposed to have less coils to bind on and usually are the better manufacturer who verifies their spring rates.

Do you have any pics of the Swift springs before the install? They should have less coils than other brands.

if you put Swift's on, it might mess with the electronic dampening. Check out the HKS adjustable springs.

I didn’t snap photos but found the marketing pics.

I had the exact same issue! The front would clunk and click it was super annoying. My mechanic wrapped the top half in silencer and it's much better...You can still hear it here and there but it's way less now.

Honestly I am thinking of just switching to coilovers. The sound is not very confidence inspiring.

I've started having the same issue and mine came with silencers pre installed. I'll be purchasing KW V3's most likely.

Interesting, I haven't experienced any noise with my Swift Springs. They did have the coil silencers pre-installed.

It’s possible my set was manufactured and shipped with the silencers improperly placed and only needing adjustment.

Mine didn't ship with silencers and I am getting some noise, however I am not sure that's causing the slight rattle. Sounds like it might be something else.
