H&R Super Sport Springs Making Noise In Front

Like the title says, I've installed a set of H&R Super Sport Springs on my '12 Golf 2.5 and I'm getting noise every time I hit a bump. It sounds like the springs are loose, like metal on metal. Myself and my mechanic have given up. We absolutely cannot figure out why they're making noise. The only thing we can think of is, it's because they're mounted on stock struts, and that the travel is too high for the springs and they basically just sit in there. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm running stock struts, do I need to upgrade? Thanks!

super sports are a very aggressive spring...definitely not supposed to be used with stock shocks... get koni yellows or bilstein's.

dont forget to replace the strut bearing/strut mount...assuming you've already replaced those
