i recently had eibach sportlines installed on my car, 1.7" drop. i dunno whut it is, but everytime i'm driving t low sppeds like in the nieghborhood or something, i hear this noticable squeaking noise coming from the reaer springs/shocks.
i dont know whut it is?? is it the springs, or is it the shocks? how do i fix it? when i go up the driveway or anything all u hear is this loud speak when the suspension pushes.
any one know what might be causing this?

Springs installed incorrectly maybe?

I was reading a DIY from somewhere when I was learning about Koni shock installations... They were installing springs at the same time, and I remember there being an indentation on one of the bottom mounts/holders that was designed for the end of the spring to sit down in. They said if the end of the spring it touching any metal along the flat face of it (the place where it was "cut" from the metal used to make the spring) it would squeak. I'll see if I can dig up a link for ya but I think that might help your problem.

You need some bushings or some damn thing like that. I had the Pro line put in and every time i go back to him he asks me if there squeeking yet.

not sure what bushings he was talking about

Yeah, forgot to mention that, there are spring pads that you can put on the upper and lower spring mounts that should cut out squeaking. They wear out after a good 50,000 miles or so, but work great untill then. Another thing you can do is use some thick tubing and cover the entire area of the spring where it contacts the mounts.
