Got some squeaks coming from my car seats after i stiffen my shocks.
I have the Koni Yellow shocks (which are adjustable); when I stiffened em up for the summer, my seats started to squeak. Has this happened to anyone? Should I just spray some WD-40 on my rails to solve?

Honestly I dont really know. I'm quite the nooB. But it feels like its coming from the seats. If thats what it is, can I just reach under the seats and spray some wd40, or should I grease the rails?

Go from cheapest --> more expensive fixes.
1st of all, check to see if it's caused by the seatbelt mounting points, this is common and Acura will fix it for free.
2nd you could check the rails and miscellaneous bolts. DON'T grease the seat rails with a solvent like WD40, you want a lubricant like Triflow or something even thicker.

I don't see why you would. Maybe some more knowledgeable folks can chime in.

Its 4 bolts and 10 minutes to remove the seat.
But, you can get to the rails without removing them.

Point 1 is a good one. Follow it, especially if its free.
Point 2 is even better. WD-40 would stop the noise for a little bit if it is in need of lubrication, but it will come back (and be worse) very quickly as the WD-40 dries.
