ive got s.tech's installed too, and i hear the same sound. also, my car isnt aligned.

a lot of people that have the s.tech's installed are experiencing the same noise.

I have the sound under 10mph. I believe it's creaking because of how the spring sits on the shock. When aftermarket shocks come out I will take the fronts apart and grease up the seat for it, which I hope will fix it.

I installed them , i put them back together the way they came apart... I didn't really notice it till i was alligned.. but it could've been there.... well i might buy some tein SS's in the spring anyway.. i was just wondering what it could be and how to fix it

Tein SS does it when going real slow and turning the wheel alot, but so far I havent heard it. When sitting still and turning the wheels I can hear the pring moving a bit. Nothing serious.
