Default Squeeky Springs?

I just recently replaced my stock springs with eibach springs and now that there on i seem to get a squeeky noise when going over speed bumbs and hitting pot holes or little holes in the road. Is this because the bolts maybe arent tightened all the way? or maybe something to do with the springs? Lemme know what you guys think.

Thank You

It is possible. Is it a squeek or more of a clunk?

Maybe try that. Also if you can try spraying silicon spray on the top and bottom and see if it goes away.

So happy to see this thread becuase i have also been having the same noise coming from the front end ....I am going to assume its my shock/spings(all stock) but its only when its wet or cold outside and hitting pot holes that you can hear it (i also noticed that on the right side when i hit pot holes it really sounds like a loud bang...the sound is that more of a wooden ship creaking and also when turning the steering wheel it creaks so im confused....

SOrry for the post hijack but we got same/similar problems and im also about to do the lowering spingd u got so i wanna make sure everythign is good b4 i do it ....

Do u have pictures of ur car now that its lowered"?
