I just installed my coilovers today and my ride drives great and everything but I hear a real deep bass squeaking when going on bumps or going up hills ect. I'm guessing it's the springs? Need to settle in or something? Any input would be nice thanks:)
 
Well I figured out the noise is in the rear and it sounds like it's the springs to me like a rubbing squeaking sound when I push down on the car. I checked the installation the shock shaft is a perfect 1/3 inside and everything else is perfect so does it need to break in? Iv heard its not supposed to make noise at all? @PRO Civic
 
You could try spring silencers if you are getting coil bind noises. Sometimes the windings of the spring hit each other and make noise.

there are a few different places that sell them online. Cheap enough at $5 to be worth a shot if you think it's the springs.

I don't know forsure ima try and crawl under there and have someone push down on the rear so I can see exactly where it's coming from

I think I'd be a little disappointed if this were me. This was supposed to be an upgrade not a downgrade. The new noise would make me crazy.
Good luck trying to figure this out @Scornio.

And yes it is driving me insane!!! When I put my sub in and something started rattling in the trunk I had to find out what it was asap lol
 
So the noise isn't there anymore ever since it hit 60 deg here(I think that's what made everything kinda settle since i installed everything in 20deg weather lol) but now I think it's rubbing my exhaust. Anyone hear any problems with the full-race setup and coilovers? Have this question on another thread trying to get some answers lol
