2 questions:

Are any of you experiencing any kind of noise issues? I have a set of springs that give me the height I want, but they make an atrocious noise that I can't seem to pinpoint. So my next step is to buy coilovers, what I should have done in the first place.

Second question: How close is the ride to stock? I've ridden in a 2012 Civic with BC Coilovers and the ride is nice when set midway, but as of late he's been complaining about a popping noise in the back when going over bumps.

Basically I'm trying to stay lowered and avoid extra noises. I had Function Form coilovers on my built 95 Accord and had zero issues, but it seems like they're dragging a$$ on 2012 civic coilovers. My last resort is going back to stock. It's embarrassing having a brand new car that sounds like a mechanical mess.
 
Road Magnets with the additional insulators. Went through all the bolts and made sure everything was tight. Another user here is having the same problem
 
not saying they'd fix the problem, but have you talked with them about the noises?
 
Not yet. The most I'll get is my money back, but the money's not really an issue. It would be less of an issue to take them off and sell them to an 8th gen'r and put coilovers on or go back to stock. I don't have the time to keep going back and fourth ripping the suspension out multiple times to try and remedy it.
 
You can use a Koni based coilover that will work great. Also, why not go with a Koni shock and some modified Neuspeed springs??? They work great! You already have the modified rear isolators to make them work.

Konis and Neuspeeds will be silent and will handle better than any of the cheaper coilovers. If you have to go with coilovers, there are a couple options with Koni Sport shocks that work great.... but for a street car, a drop spring and Konis still is the better way to go I think.
