Default Tein problem

I just had the tein super street suspension installed on my 97 accord lx. this is the 2nd ive had it. the first day no problems, but now it squeekes the whole time I drive it. I had the car lowered but its not too low, just enough to close a gap I had between the low profile tires and the fenders. any body know whats up?

I had Group 5 in san diego do it. I called them today with the report and they said bring it in so I did. They said that it was probably the camber kit which is stock and that it wasnt squeeking when they tested it today and it wasnt squeeking when i drove it home from their shop today but last night it was horrible. this high pitched squeek any way they oiled it and checked it and said call them on monday with the report. what do you think?

have they "reset" the uper and lower control arm bushings ??

When u lower ( or raise...ehhe ) a honda
the factory control arm bushings are set in
and blocked in place to their mounting points
they are allowed to travel a certain angle of rotation on and out, after wich they start resisting and then TEAR

so get them ALL reset to ur car new ride height
or you will need to replace all your bushings pretty soon ( 3" is alot on those poor )

may not be your squeaking problem,
but u'll need to do that nway

It may be simple, your car has had it's time when it comes to bushing life expectancy. They are probably worn out and the lowering just made the problem seem a lot noticeable. When you lower old cars, this happens, whether you've had 10 cars you've done this to, every car has had a different history, gone through different roads, potholes, etc...
