did you put the o-rings on that go underneath the coilover sleeves?
there's a DIY in the DIY section that shows how to do it. They also used electrical tape on the o-rings to make the sleeves fit on nice and snug.

i cant say for sure with newer Koni/GC combos but i believe they do not use those o-rings like from other sleeve coilovers. their install a little differently than the DIY on this forum.

did u use the rubber piece that is used at the top of the spring/bottom of the top hat? u can see it in the pic, black rubber piece sitting on top of the springs. this helps hold the spring in place while driving and from causing noises.

is the threaded tube from the coilover sitting snug over the shock body? u shouldnt be able to wiggle it around.
