defective stance full coilovers??

i received stance suspension w/ swift spring upgrade from the group buy and had vtr install them today (well known shop with experiance in road racing) And they encountered a problem with rattling coming from the front when going over bumps. After hours of trying to figure out what it is including checking preload multiple times and every bolt/bushing in the front they concluded that i have 2 bad front shocks. (rears are perfect) After driving it myself i would say the same and they also appear very soft on the medium setting Has anybody else had this problem with stance schocks in the front?

I will be contacting stance first thing monday so hopefully theres no issues

ive actually recently encountered squeaking when going over bumps in the front.. not sure if its my coilover/swaybar/endlinks/bushing/whatever..

all i know is that it squeaks. I have not had the time to do further examination.

Had the same issue with my powertrix. Got some super lube (sounds funny I know) and greased the sway bar bushing and that did the trick. Might be worth a try if you have not already inspected this.

i was 90% sure it was the swaybar... most of the time any noises you hear are from the swaybar.

ill give this a shot, my brother has swaybar grease i can try.

thanks
