Eibach Springs Available Soon!

[MinhQP]

I have an ex hatch lowered on the sportlines and I recently started getting a slight squeaking sound somewhere in the front right of my hatch. I have put about maybe 1500 miles on my springs and I have only just noticed this. I usually only hear the sound on light bumps on my front right wheels. Has anyone else had this issue?

I also tried standing on the door sill and bouncing the car up and down and I didn't hear any noise. Any ideas on where the squeaking can be coming from?

Update: it seems like the sound mostly went away which was strange. I'm actually starting to think its my passenger seat squeaking but it's hard to tell while I'm driving and when I'm parked I can't replicate the sound.

so will any rear camber kit work with these springs? or will they only be effective with the eibach one

Has the sound come back at all?

SPC & Eibach camber kit are basically the same kit and the only other kit available is from TRUHART.. they will all work just fine

It comes and goes and I'm still not sure what it is lol. I'm gonna try to retorque everything when I get back in town

Installed my Pro-Kit. Not too low. Just ordered my 18x9's with a +34 offset. Should fit pretty much the same as what I have now, which is stock plus 25mm spacers all-around.

If you don't mind could we get some more up close pictures of the pro-kit, like the wheel gap? Im really debating between the pro-kit and sportline. I feel the sportline might be too much for the stock struts to handle especially in Canada which is plagued in potholes in the spring.
Thanks!

Just talked to Eibach today, they had a 2.0L for testing and the lowering springs for the 1.5L will work just fine for the 2.0L. They're working on updating their website to reflect the testing.

Rep also recommended the camber kit which I'm sure he's supposed to do no matter what.

Anyone on lowering springs with no camber kit? Were you able to do a proper alignment?

How is the ride quality overall? Is it pretty close to stock? Slightly bumpier? And how are they when you actually have a full car?
I bought them but I'm hesitant now because I still want the car to be quiet even while going over small road imperfections

Ride quality is pretty much the same, it's stiffer over bumps which is expected. Loaded suspension is pretty much is the same as before. I believe the squeaking sound is coming from my CV boot leaking. I'm gonna try to clean it up and add more grease and replace the clamp on it.

I used this video with it being my first time installing springs and it really helped me out! There are obviously some steps that are different in this video due to them installing full coilovers. But I'm sure you can find more on YouTube. Borrowed spring compressor from local auto shop parts retailer. Also think there are various types of write ups on the forums here you may find. Hope this helps.
