You need to be more specific....and punctuation. :lol:

New or used?
Did you torque the bolts up WITH the suspension loaded up?

Those coilover units were in awesome condition, so shouldn't be any problems with them. But yep, as Ratty says, need to torque all the mounting bolts up when they're loaded, so you can be sure they're properly seated.
Also check the locking rings on the spring adjustment screws are tight???
