I just put the VTFs on and like the way it looks, but there’s a small noise on certain low speed turns. I’ve isolated it to the front drivers side spring. With the car on a lift and someone in it, they can turn the wheel to the right and there’s a small shudder when the wheel is almost completely turned. Pulled everything apart and made sure everything was installed correctly.

I’ve noticed an improvement with the car in Sport or Sport Plus because the whole system stiffens and there’s no place for the spring to get loose. I can’t find any help on the H&R site.

I’ve had H&R springs on several cars and have never experienced this. I might go back to Eibach the next time I decide to lower a car.

These springs come with a rubber liner. If not, just add some. Here's my old vtf it has the liner. It may be hard to see but it's a clear rubber tube along the the end coils.

I am retailer of H&R products in Bulgaria and sell a lot of their products-fantastic quality BUT major problem is not H&R springs-just coilovers springs-I thing they not work good on this car.
