Not sure if it's normal but I have the same clicking as well as 90% of S-tech owners. Mines been like this for over 6 months now and I don't see any problems arising from it. Only happens at very slow speeds such as parking

have you guys tried to fix the spring cushions cause it seems like that;s what causing the noises like the cushions is in the wrong place so the springs are hitting when you turn the steering wheels i kinda got mine fixed from the shop like hte moved it and i;m planning to get my spring cushions on my springs, as for now the clicking sounds are gone so i hope it won;t come back again PLEASE I DONT WANT IT ANYMORE......... btw check your rims too if you guys are on your aftermarket rims check your offset cause your rims might be hitting the fender...... i think that;s what happened to my 5zigens

Did everyone with the creak reuse the factory spring rubbers? I did.

My springs were installed for about 2 weeks prior to the creak. It started creaking and did so for about a month. I have not noticed it since...

The creak definitely comes from the front... A camber kit would not affect this I don't believe...

so both the sportlines or the s.techs make creaking/click sound?

is there a sound byte of this? just curious how bad it is. i was pretty set on the sportlines...

edit: is it like this http://www.imagestation.com/video/vi...27715&dl=1

Spray a grease into the area and see if it stops....

I just got the S-techs installed 3 days ago and I've been noticing the sound for the past 2 days. I was hoping that it'll just go away. Guess it's going back to the shop.
Anyone who's got clicking cut their spring rubber? I read that it was suppose to be cut 2 inches or something, I don't remember.
