[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15089113, member: 8854"] It's what came with the kit. It seemed like a very hard urethane. I don't think that's the noise. To me it seems the noise is not really from any one part but rather just the car / dash etc. been shook in a way it's not supposed to. Like if you drive in a car with worn shocks you hear all kinds of noses when you hit bumps, metal creaks, dash vibrations etc. It's like that. Went for a ride today, windows down, loud exhaust didn't notice it at all. When I drive a little more normal and windows up it's very noticeable though. Actually it was a 70 lb difference. Not to be over looked on such a nose heavy car. I did some looking and UPR has spring perches for $40. They use the same two bolts on each side that hold the k-member to the body. Think I need to order those. I don't see any a-arms with spring perches so will probably have to put the stock a-arms back on with the factory coil springs. It'll add some weight back but it'll suspend the car from the correct spot and if it fixes the dash noises over bumps bonus. While on topic I know a lot of guys run coil overs. Never really heard of anyone bending or breaking the shock towers. Is it really an issue? If I just live with the noise am I really going to hurt anything? Yes awesome bonding experience I'm sure he'll remember his whole life. [/QUOTE]
