I got mine installed today, way easier to put in than the stock style because I didn't have to try and compress the shock to get them down to the bolt holes. Really super easy. I may try and get some of the rubber boots for them to protect them from the crap on the road. Haven't gotten to drive it yet because of a screw in my brand new tire but I'm excited to see how it rides with the recovered shock travel.

EDIT: Biggest NOPE in my life. These things rattle so bad I couldn't stand it after driving the car only a mile or so. I think I'm just going to put the stock ones back on.

Sounds like an improper install, something isn't torqued properly.

I followed the torque specs in the BMR directions to the T despite the fact that the hardware I got was different sized than what the instructions referenced. I just got done re-installing them for the 3rd time this morning.

Do you have the nut tight up against the bump stop washer in the kit.My BMR Kit works great with my Viking Shocks.

Yes, I put the top 1/4" tab of the shock in the vice and tightened the lock nut first then the upper mount onto that. I think I figured it out though, the nut has to face the back of the car. The 4th time I took them off I put one forward and one towards the back, and the one with the nut in the back was silent. Now I swapped the other side around and they're both quiet.

Pictures please. All of the properly installed sets do not make noise.

I got them working now. As far as the hardware goes, the thru-bolt and nut in the instructions was 17mm but mine was 15mm. No big deal, but I did have to turn them around so the nut was towards the rear to stop the rattle. I attached a pic of how it was when it was rattling, with the nut forwards.

You need a washer in between the main bumpstops washer and the jamb nut. Rod end looks bottomed out before tightening onto the jamb nut. Did you put the o-rings in?
