neuspeed sport springs need some help

hey guys,

i just got my neuspeed sport springs for 4door installed on my car. anyways its making a creaking noise in the front right. the shop said that it's cuz the springs are short that's why its making that noise? is it the springs or what?
also if i get an aftermarket shocks like tokico,kyb,koni's . will the creaking sound go away?

well they didnt do something right if it is making noise now. Lowering springs if installed correctly and if every other component is fine, should make no noise. Go back and complain or go to another shop. especially if it is only doing it in one corner, make them look over that one really well.

i think the noise is gone now, i've been taking corners pretty fast these couples of days. i guess it made them settle?

yeah for sure... give me next day or 2.. pretty much 1.5 finger gap in front and 1 at the back with my system. i'm running oem 15" rims..
