yes, but the money you are spending on that you might a well get true coilovers for a few hundred more

did you remember to also use the stock bearing ring and not just the upper mount? sometimes that piece is practically glued to the stock spring cap. with coilovers, you will always need to re-use it

what does this 'coilwrap' look like? i was assuming it was the black tube like thing thats ridged. but when i went to radioshack today, they pointed me out to this copper wire kind. the clerk told me it was used for better frequency or sumthin like that.

please let me know asap because i am getting skunk2 coilovers soon and i heard those make noises too.

It will look like a rubber tube that someone has done a spiral cut on. It just wraps aroudn the springs in a spiral. I'll see if I can get some pics of some. Also, make sure to grease up the points of the suspension that turn, i.e. on top of the struts.

just take a look at the suspension set up again before you do anything.....then go to the other solutions where you spend money

that noise would probably be that something is loose or its not tighten or something is out and needs to be replaced
