Default Coil over w/ Tarret top shock mounts - rattle/hum

Hi all,

I've noticed a rattle (sounds like steel to steel) coming from the front and seems to be under the dash.

I can only surmise its from the fact that I changed to Moton CS coil overs with Tarrett top shock mounts.

Is this normal for this set up?

It is only noticeable when I go over small bumps.

Thanks guys!

May just need a re-torque. In the past Ive had this happen to my suspension on another car afew KMs down the road after inital install.


How are these shocks, ive been looking at them online recently while reaching for my checkbook.

im fighting the erg but its getting very tempting.

Thanks TCS and Lopro.

Mechanic coming over to retighten.

Lopro - I love the Moton CS after having it dialed it in which took kinda long. I wasn't getting anywhere until I had a pro driver help me out and then use his setting as a base line. Roads and tracks in this side of the world are bumpy so my preferred setting is soft to moderate compression and moderate rebound. I don't get that 'front end' wandering feeling most GT3's do.

I had a similar issue with Tarett camber plates. A re-torque cured the isse.

Silverboy is your engine build done?
Did I miss it? Or is this another car?
