Just had some fitted and I am getting a rattling from the front end. Also had new front mounts.
I've made sure nothing has come off and everything is tight.
Anyone else had this or know anything it may be?
It seems to be at its worst within the first 10 mins of driving (after being stood). Motorway driving is fine.
Thanks

First thing I'd check is if the rings on the struts are tight together (presume you've got a lock ring on), failing that take it back to who fit them to have a good look.
Love the look of your car by the way Shelleh, silver is perfect for a vxr.

Thanks Kenny Think I spotted you the other day didn't I?
I've had them back to be checked over and everything seemed ok. Just my luck that it didn't rattle when I took it back though. I will check the lock ring

Yeah that was me by Emporium 
Could also be the strut nut that's not been tightened up. Which coilovers are they?

Probably drop links. They die for fun on standard suspension as they are.
