Default eibach springs help

i installed a set of eibach sportline springs on my civic and now there is a ton of body noise i.e. creeking and squeeking. is this somthing that aftermarket springs do b/c i had a set of coil-overs on it before and never had this problem. and it seems that the springs a too soft.

well, 10 year old cars just do that then. just figure out where the squeeks are coming from and see if you can fix it.

why its occuring when you install different springs isnt too surprising. changes forces and vibrations that might not have occured before that cause the squeeks.

what "coilovers" did you have before? generic stuff?
