eibach sportlines....anyone else have a front left noise or any other front clicking?

Ive had these in for almost 6 months.....the noise has gotten worse then it was at first....its if you sit in one spot or roll slightly and turn the wheel it has a clicking noise...no its not the axle....anyone else expieriencing this sound? Ive just cant deal with it anymore a new car shouldnt be making this sound...so time to make it right...I understand the spring rotates when turning the wheel but it sounds like butt and trashy......thanks

you're not the only one.. i know alot of people have the creaking noise including me.. i have tein s-tech drop springs and the front makes noise when turnin...i guess this manufacturers copied the stock springs from the FG and just cut 2 springs.. not engineered right! it's definitely the springs!

Buy some h techs, they dont drop as much as the s techs, but will still look good, and hopefully you will not have the problem you are having now..

i'm on progress springs and wow, a lot of noise. The driver front almost has a clunking noise.. the rears squeak.. not sure if its the camber arms or the springs.

i'm going to lube everything tomorrow and recheck everything. I never had this problem on any other honda/mitsu i lowered.

i might just get the coilovers. I'm so pissed off about these springs its not even funny. On the one side, I couldn't even get the spring to slide thru the top mount rubber peice because the coils were touching.. like wtf is wrong with these companies.
