Noise issues with Unplugged Performance Mild Springs.

[Kimistry]

If I may ask, What version do you guys have? I recently called them and they said they have a gen 3 version that addresses those issues.

I’m supposed to go in tomorrow to install and now I’m worried.

 

[Kimistry]

Just realized u said u were on your third version. Now I really am worried.

I got mine maybe in fall. The noise is not a bid deal. Only when I got near lock to lock for the most part I get a few clicks. Its entirely tolerable.

 

[Kimistry]

just got mine installed (version 3) and so far no issues. I'm 2018 LR RWD.

I haven't tried listening when going lock to lock.

For those of you interested, I'm on week 2 of my mild spring install and so far no issues or sound. I'm supposedly on version 3. Here's a pic of the before and after.

Glad no issues so far. UP keeps telling me that my "replacement" springs are delayed indefinitely because of what sounds like supply chain issues. Doesn't make sense that you can just go on the website and buy springs that correct the problems.

Also, UP says that the binding noise issue will not be apparent at first, but only sets in after the springs have time to settle. At least that's what they told me.

The noise on my M3 seems to be getting louder and more consistent.

Can u describe what "binding noise" is?

Clicking when your turning the wheel as the car moves at slow/tight turns?

Thanks for the pics. How's the ride so far? I'm looking for a softer ride than stock. 2018 RWD. Thanks.

Any updates on this? Currently experiencing noise issues on my Mild springs. UP replaced them recently and it was quiet for a few weeks but now noises have returned.

Is this an issue with any other brands of springs?

When I was on UP milds, I got the binding noise (had new springs replaced last winter). Cleaning the coils up once in a while reduced it but only to come back later.

 

[bwm3]

Curious How did you clean the coils? Just remove surface dirt?

Spray to remove dirt, and move the isolaters down. The layer of grime that built up made it hard to tell what was isolator and what was dirt lol.

Just get Eibach and trim the bumpstops as indicated on their website. I've installed so many and never once had any issues. Rides better than stock and has a great drop. I'm sure there's vendor here who can get them for you. Just keep in mind that Eibach doesn't have instructions in the box so I bet 99% of shops never trim the bumpstops. I'm anal so I go to their website, speak with their engineers, and look for manufacturer recommendations before starting any job.

I’ve had UP moderates for about a year and they’ve been completely silent. Lots of install errors and spring position seating them correctly on the shock and top mounts. Only reason I switched out was because I went to UP coils for more low.

 

[Kimistry]

Do u guys have more road noise after install? I’ve noticed cabin noise from the road is much loader.

 

[Mr X]

Really? What version did you start out with?


I got my milds back in August last year, it was like the 3rd gen or something at the time


I've had zero problems with them. They don't make any noise or nothing.


UP is really good about fixing issues if you contact them. Sucks to hear but mine have been flawless so far

I’m happy with the springs

no noise at this stage. Cabin noise seems similar.
Road noise is more a tyre issue than lowering a car 25mm

Why trim bumpstops? Because it keeps hitting the bumpstops if not? That isn't a good thing ever riding and hitting the bump stops. Yeah, they are there in case of bottoming out...but makes me wonder why they, and nobody else, says trim them??

Debating going with coilovers, but springs are much cheaper, I just don't want to hit the bumpstops all the time with H&R or Eibachs.

Drop does look good!

Thx
