Your issue may be the way the coils are wound. Normally with progressive rate springs, you'll see a bunch of closely wound coils near the top. Sometimes these coils can rub on each other on compression and cause some noise.

Tein sells a specific product to deal with this: http://www.tein.com/products/silencer_rubber.html

OR, you can wrap the coils that are close to each other with spiral cable wrap; something like this: .

It's worth a shot. Also, double check all your bolts (and re-torque) everything.

After putting the car on a lift myself and not trusting the dealership I found that the dealer had re-installed the spring wrong and that the lower spring was not seated in the pocket at all, it was about a 1/4 turn off. I have seen the isolator wrap and have some on the springs. The stuff works great, Eibach has said that after a period of time the isolators may move.
Thanks for the ideas.

pro-s v1 standard is 10k. pro-s v2 standard is 8k and the front shock body's are shorter. i read you can choose between 10k,14k,or 18k if you request it.

Subjective question deserves a subjective answer. Simply asking if x brand is good does not warrant for a detailed answer.

That is beside the point.

FF uses cheap materials, lack of differentiation between dampening settings, poor dampening to begin with, poor customer service. There's a dedicated/official FF thread in A&C. Try checking there also. Some say they swear by this brand, but I am not convinced. It's all about what you want to do and what you want out of the suspension.

What are you looking to do? Dump it (form >> function), track it (function > form), just lowering? What's your budget?

I've been running the Raceland's on my car. Perfect for a daily and it rides just as smooth as stock, not bouncy at all.
