yea, the problem has gone, drove a 100 mile round trip around the back roads of the borders with no knocking so the problem is gone, looks like there was some spring rattle as the suspension momentarily came under low load conditions (ie crap roads at speed). The reason I ask about hand tightening is that once the spring perch comes into contact with the spring and it is also in contact with the top mount, there is a few turns of tightening that is hand tight-able! lol. Must bear in mind that the thread pitch cant be much more than 1.5mm, maybe 2mm.
Was mega impressed with the coilover setup don, car is pretty much standard as you have seen but with a couple degrees negative camber front and rear the car has so much grip and is then progressive once it does let go.
Did notice the understeer at the limit though so will be investing in a whiteline arb at the rear for the track 185. Was reading an interesting post on alltrac.net regarding tyre width/size and altering track with between front and rear to affect grip. An interesting read if nothing else
