HR Spring install, squeaking in the front normal?

[Supr@Freak23]

I just finish the install, when for an initial ride, at zero miles, moving just the steering wheel, I can hear squeaking sounds, same as when doing zigzags, all springs are correctly seated, BTW knuckle bolts on the rear are a pain in the ass to put them back, at least when working on jacks, had to maneuver against the shock, to get it to align, that rear end was hell! Drop was as advertised, 1" front .75" on the rear

There have been several people complain of squeaks with H&R springs. Exact reason I have not purchased them. That would drive me insane on a new car. I have not heard of any noise complaints on the HKS yet.

Wonder if I should put some marine grease in the housing bushings,I didnt put any grease, because I didnt se any on the stock springs, I wonder also if its just until they settle in after a few hundred miles!. Wish someone with 500 plus miles with them could give shed some feedback, to get peace of mind, I did pull this running 25mm rear18mm front spacers, without rubbing at all!! The stand looks amazing!

Have had the H&R springs on mine for about 3k miles now and never had any noise issues with them. Using spacers too, but only 13mm all around.

I have had no trouble or squeaks with mine

The comment I will make is I nearly put my first front spring in the car upside down, I only just noticed it, could that be a possibility ?

I noticed the rubber endcaps can only be placed firmly/correctly on the spring in 1 spot only

I only just noticed the spring was a slightly smaller diameter one end & the it would only properly fit in the rubber cup the right way up, there wasn't much in it.

Yeah I've done 3,000km on the H&R. Had a new noises on first install but quiet as stock now

After I installed mine, I noticed a little noise on the left front when going over bumps. I had to re-tighten the shock nut using Allen wrench and box wrench. Noise went away and drives fine now with over 500 miles on them.
