New Tein springs

I just got my Tein S-Techs from Jdm-in-stock for a good price






and my rims!





and the best part is, i bought these parts, before i even have the car! hahaha
Yah the story is i sold my car, and my parents needed the money to refinance something and they said they'll pay me back in a month so alllll the money i got from selling my Prelude went to them, as soon as i get my money back from them, ill immidiatly go get my 8th gen CIVIC! which i already have RIMS/TIRES and TEIN SPRINGS FOR hahahaha, next is intake than pulleys, hopefully after i get the car not before haha

I just learned to live with it. It only does it when I'm pulling into a parking space

Ive heard that you can wrap something around some parts of the springs, and it will take the noise right out, or atleast mute it a lil bit. Is this true? has anyone done it. I know on my prelude when i dropped it, that the front never made any noise but the rear springs would when i threw it hard into a turn, or whenever i'd come into steep drive ways. hmm anyone tried "insulating" the springs somewhat?

Also the box says Civic SI 06 +, sooo would that work with a ex coupe if i decided to get one? should be the same correct?
thanks
