When you install a coilover with hard metal mounting plates, do you think it is wise to install it with a gasket inbetween the mounting plate and the strut tower to insulate it from the road noises?
If you have done it, what does it sound like? is it really loud?
I had them installed with the stock paper/cardboard gasket that was on my stock shocks. worked well.
A gasket doesn’t have to be anything special right, just some kind of a softer layer between the 2 metals. I would definitelly do it, because you don’t lose anything from doing it.
and it sounded just like stock… the ride of course wasn’t as comfy on the 9/7 springs…
