i got that noise when the bolt on the strut was not tightened. other than that i think GroundControl on camrys/solaras are just bad in general because they are sleeved.

Sleeved meaning the part with the threads is a sleeve that slips over the strut.

Real coilovers have threaded shock/strut bodies. In other words the threads are part of the shock/strut.

i purcchased b&g coilover assembly ( the strut and the spring all together) 1200 bones hopfully itll take care of all the funny noises... FOR THAT MUCH IT BETTER !!!

i figured instead of dickin around with pieces of the suspension id just replace everything with a new setup if anyone has b&g coilovers lemme know if u like em or not.... if no one has em once i get em in ill give everyone my feedback on the ride factor thanks all !
