Do you hear it everytime you turn your wheel from stop?I installed mine a couple weeks ago. I am hearing it as well. Only when I’m starting to turning the wheel from a stop I can hear it. @MountainPass what do you guys think? 3 of us now
Ours and KW's forks are forged aluminum with black anodizing. It is a bit of a dull finish so it can look composite in photos!Is that a composite fork in the photos?

The first version was passivated stainless steel for the sports, and zinc-coated steel for the comforts. The benefit is that we don't have to make them ourselves and ship them separately anymore which was a massive headache! Making them was a huge ordeal.Nice! Any benefits with this anodized version versus the original unfinished aluminum version? Looks like there's just a single arm that goes around the half shaft, instead of the two arms (with one that bends) on the original version. Is the anodized version lighter?

So the sports and comforts use the same forged aluminum black anodized forks now? I know previously there were user concerns for durability in snow/road salt regions between the sports and comforts. Is that no longer an issue? Are the shock bodies the same material between the two?
I received new springs from MPP, but I am hesitant to take my coilovers apart, to install these as I don't think it will make a difference. I may try adjusting the spring as suggested.
It is a bit more comforting to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this.
I haven’t drove the car much over the past few weeks during the SIP. I did drive the car today. The sound is back, but less pronounced. It does still move but less. The only thing is that it doesn’t have to be full lock left or right to make the sound anymore. I hear it at various turns now. Not sure what makes it do it less or more. Hot or cold weather?I finally had some time away from work to adjust my springs last night. I spun the collar all the way down, wiped the springs down, the top collar seat, the bottom seat, the collar and between the collar and the bottom spring seat. Spun the spring 90 degrees and spun the collar back up.
In the garage, turning the wheel from side to side full lock, I didn’t hear anything. A drive into a parking lot last night produced very little noise and seemed to have gone away after more parking lot turns. I will monitor it over the next week. So far it is much better. Does this mean that the spring is not evenly applying equal pressure all the way around the top and bottom seat?

@MountainPass thoughts or this is how it’s going to be?...
Just annoying still.
Did you install those new springs we ordered from Germany for you? We have managed to resolve it with perch/spring adjustments, so if you have tried everything and still have an issue it could be something funky with your springs. I have seen one spring out of all of the kits that was slightly misshapen, so it is a possibility.
We have also found that the complaints always come after a customer increases the ride-height themselves at home. The perch height shouldn't matter, but there does appear to be a correlation between higher ride heights and slight spring noises. The double ball joints on the Model 3 are proving a challenge to make perfectly silent. After speaking to KW about the noises, they advised that it is normal and occurs on other cars as well like the Audi A4 and their own Model 3 kit. Obviously we would not like to have any noises, so we just need to nail a procedure for raising the ride height after initial installation that won't aggravate it as we have been finding.
