i have the ground control coilovers on the front of my car and it makes this claking noise everytime i go over bumps and stuff, my cousin (who has had coilover setups before) said his did the same thing and that most adjustable coilovers setup do that. does anyone else experience this? and one more question, i get a vibration at 75-80 mph but after that its gone. it doesnt matter what gear im in, it still does it. do i just need to get the wheels balanced or what? thanks in advance fellas.

My car too is silent. I'd say your upper shock mount nut (the one that is on the shock shaft and hold the mount on) is not tight. Common problem, and even a little slop will cause a clunk over bumps.
There is nothing on a coil-over that would cause more noise than stock. Rattles are something loose, and the spring can't be as the weight of the car is pushing down on them.

Hope that's it.... It'd help to wind the spring down so there is no tension on the mount. Tighten the nut (you'll need to pull the shocks out to do it) and you should be fine.... Just make sure you get the upper ball joint castle nut tight enough too!
