I have a Eibach Pro Kit with Koni Yellows for the first 2 months all are fine. after that when I turn the wheel from left to right their's a CREAK sound, someone suggested to put wire wraps on the springs it worked for 1 day after that the F^&k^&g! sound came back! Do I need to take off the whole spring to install the wire wraps or is this sound coming from another source???

Did you index the springs and shock correctly? Did you do the install?

It was done by the dealer they even showed me how they cut the front strut to fit the Koni's, I even went to another shop to confirm if they did the correct job they said everything is done correct. I notice this is a recurring problem for some of 7th gen mem. does putting the wire wrap really going to help??? I'm planning to have the struts removed this week but i want to make sure first before I do it??

Could be alot of different things.. maybe your Koni insert isnt torqued correctly into the housing.

What would be the correct torque? The wire wraps worked for a day then the creak sound came back after.

I think the lower bolt has to be torqued to 60 ft lbs.. I dont recall what I did mine at... but 60 sounds about right. Its in the instructions.

Thanks I'll try that, but do you think I should also try the wire wraps for my springs??

Sure, it might help. The best thing to do is to try to figure out where the noise is coming from. It took me a while before I discovered my insert was loose. What I did was put my front end up on jack stands and turned the wheels like I was steering, which help me isolate where the noise was coming from.
