Well I'm getting a rattling noise from the drivers side suspension, its lowered 40mm with uprated shocks.

I've heard its called spring chatter, but is it a bad thing? because it seems only one of them is doing it, and has made it lower on one side?

Also, does it matter which way a rear spring is put in.

Any help welcome, just wanna get rid of the noise, its so annoying!!

Did you fit the end of the spring to the stop on the shock? Both ends of spring. I also put some copper grease on the plates just to prevent rubbing noise.

The rear spring does have a correct way to go, as in there is a top and a bottom, but it doesn't need to be placed at the right rotation like front springs do.
