It just reduces the chance of rattling springs. Race only stuff generally just uses a flat spring with flat spring mount, even then, they aren't generally noisy unless the spring is not captive through full travel

 

If it is a stock form spring going into the stock spring seat, but without the rubber insulator, then it will likely be quite a lot noisier. This from the generous contact area of a stock form spring up against the large diaphragm of the perch.

If the spring is lowered & stiffer, that loss of 10mm or so of installed compression may make it just possible for the spring to become non-captive at full droop, which will probably be fine 99.99% of the time but every now and then it is a recipe for disaster.

I hear a knock every now and then when going over kerb to park so think it is the spring not resting on the pad

 

i am thinking of hooking up the spring compressor and hammer it so spring sits on the pad

 

is that a bad idea?

If you have spring compressors, then take the extra 15 minutes to jack the car up and remove the suspension unit. Dismantle it and put it back together properly.

It's only going to take 15 minutes.

You are right

 

it is a nightmare to get it off though. Will probably do that

I'm not sure what you are talking about. 1 bolt at the bottom. 2 at the top. I can get the front out of my car in about 4 minutes or the back out in slightly longer because the top bolts are harder to reach. And then it just falls out of the car.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
