Tein Basics question

Before anyone asks, yes i did search but i didnt find a legitmate answer. Anyways i have Tein Basic coilovers on my coupe and they squeak like hell in the rears. Any ideas on what i can do to fix that? Maybe get some spring isolators? Anyone know where i can find the Tein rubber spring isolators online? Also, my front left suspension pops whenever i turn the steering wheel at low speeds. The suspension was professionally installed by a local tuner shop and worked flawless for about 2 weeks. Then the noises started appearing again. ugh.......im really getting sick of this. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

for the rears,, it might be the dust cover hitting the threads,, just lube the threads

...and if the lube doesn't work, try cutting the dust covers a little. For mine, I cut about an inch above where it appeared to be rubbing.

On the front, maybe check your bearings? If I remember right its just concentric plastic rings which should rotate smoothly.
