I installed my eibach pro kit springs on my 2020 Si this past weekend and have been noticing a considerable amount of suspension noise that I wasn’t hearing before.
I knew there would be some compromise I would have to make in ride quality and noises, but I’m worried that what I’m hearing is outside the standard range of what I should be expecting. Now I’m wondering if I didn’t do something correctly during the process of putting my strut assembly back together after swapping out the springs or when I installed the assembly back on the car which could be causing the noise.
In Eibach’s instructions they say to make sure the upper perch and lower perch of the strut assembly are lined up correctly but I don’t know how you can misalign them when there’s only one way it can mount up.
The noises I’m hearing:
If it’s not normal, what is likely to be the culprit? Is there anything I can do to subdue the noise?
Any help would be appreciated!

The noises I’m hearing:
- Creaking at really slow speeds when turning my wheel or on uneven ground, like backing out of my driveway
- Loud clunks and thumps is when hitting bumps and small pot holes at normal driving speeds
- Mild noise when hitting slightly imperfect road at slowish speeds, like small lines in the road at up to 25ish mph.
If it’s not normal, what is likely to be the culprit? Is there anything I can do to subdue the noise?
Any help would be appreciated!
