you need 06 upper mounts
nah really its normal. You might be able to put a rubber gaskets on either end of the spring so that when it twists it rubs the rubber and not the metal. Not sure if it would work but worth a try

Rep Power: 0 so basically im selling my car cause of this problem. i cant stand it. evertime i turn the wheel i hear the springs clicking and then it pulls the alignment off.
so does anyone know a fix to this? cause i know everyone that has a lowered 01+ civic does not do this.

Yeah mine does it when I apply the brakes and im going slow also. Its no big deal to me though, just one of those things you have to deal with any car that is modified is going to make noises and stuff it just happens.

Hell no thats just not something you live with..haha, im switching to GCs becuase of this problem, but i have Neuspeed race on now...i cant wait to switch, also gonna grease it up and put a rubber thingy on the springs just in case...I HATE THAT SOUND...sounds like the whole wheel is gonna fall off....

not just ground control...any coilovers mainly. i hate how the civic's suspension is set up. on my integra it would never do this. and i had ground control also. my ride is not even close to what my integra was and its the same set-up??? weird.
integra shares a different suspension than the civic 01+ civics.
i have same noise problem on my sleeve coilovers and what i done was grease the top and bottom of springs. the top mount plates and underneath it.
