thanks for any tips and help

 

don't tell me you cut the stock springs!?!?!

 

nope i didnt cut the springs i got eibach sprotsline but the sounds not coming from springs

 

did you possibly crack the strut mount it will squeak if cracked

 

when the car is dropped too low it squeaks....not to sure of this....but the same happenned to me.
i dropped m car real low on tein SS...just above the wheel...no space really between wheel and fender but it wasn't tucked...that's with 18s.
i got some slight squeaking from the rear, especially the drivers side. i had the camber kits and everything istalled already.
i raised the car up a bit and it was there but not as much....raised it up a little to a finger gap between wheel and fender and the noise was gone.
i think if it's too low, it stresses a part or parts in the rear....causing the noise....as u can see the setup is the rear is not an everyday setup...
so it might just be the drop is too low....maybe someone else with sportlines can chime is...if they having the same issue...it's probably that.

 

see it dosnt squeak its lik sumthing is hitting it sounds lik something thats metal soo u guys think is not the shocks???

 

mine does that because i ripped the **** out of the rubber damper that the spring sits on.

So now i get a spring noise whenever the car feels like shifting the spring around.
its awesome.

i ordered new ones. but havent got em yet. i also have Tein SS's like sickyute, but I have never got squeaks, just that spring noise, which I know it is. because i shoved a piece of cardboard in there for a test or 2,3 or more.

 

i just dropped the front of my si on sportlines.... didnt get to the back yet got dark to fast lol...but any ways with fast jerks of the wheel back and forth I can here the spring make noise moving metal on metal ahh well guess i should of put the top rubber thing on durrr
