The plastic spacer doesn't slide as easy as the fiber glass piece when the spring twist during a full turn.

But, they don't buy it.
Customer swap to Eibach at the end and I sent the VTF back to H&R.

So, there is solution pretty much.

It start happening on the later batch when H&R changed the spring spacer material.
Bin, would it be possible to order from other manufacturer the spring spacer in the right material to eliminate the noise. I know it may be tough to find the right size but may be a great option for people that still want to run the VTFs.
