its the top part of the coils. get some garden hose like maybe 4 inches and cut it in half length-wise. slide the halves in between the last two coils on top or where the coils make contact against each other. its usually the last two on top. :D

....ummm...wheel rub?
How many miles are on the car and how many on the coilovers?</TD></TR></TABLE>
That's what I'm saying, bad bushings or wheel rub somewhere. Check the bushings.

When I lowered my car like 1.5 years ago, it always squeeked and I KNOW it's the bushings I've just never replaced them. My car drove/rode fine.

Re: Omni power full coilovers squeak! (jtecboi)
I've seen this on the Omni Power coilovers a lot. There is a rubber bushing on the coilover between the top of the spring and the pillow mount (hat). This bushing sometimes gets ripped during installation and the spring will start rubbing the top of the coilover a lot. Makes a loud squeking sound usually when your driving slower.

Re: Omni power full coilovers squeak! (spock_rocker)
try puttin some while lithium greese between pillow mouns and the spring, and swap out for some energy suspension bushings, they never sqeak and they will make your ride, ride 100% better

Re: Omni power full coilovers squeak! (jtecboi)
could be your springs, could not be. has a better chance of being your bushings. main problem with coilovers is the collars that go over the strut. most people dont put rubber rings around the strut causing movement in the collar when car is bouncing. just think if your collar is moving around how good is the suspension working. peace. postman

Re: Omni power full coilovers squeak! (jtecboi)
i have Omni coilovers on my EG hatch and no problems! but i think its either what Lawnmower said or try taking out the bolts in the suspension out like: upper, lower control arms, the bolt holding the fork to the lower control arm and put wd40 or somekind of lube on the bolts. Defiantly not the spring coils touching each other, the omni power springs coils are to far apart and high spring rate to touch and make noise.
