Default eBay coil over sleeves.

I recently installed some eBay coil over sleeves on my 1993 prelude and we'll they ride ok and I enjoy now being lowered now my shock/struts whatever you want to call them they kinda make a squeaky noise when I hit bumps it's not very loud but you can hear it inside idk if anybody else has has this problem, just curious to know if anything is broken. Or it's just normal, they are just sleeves and I used stock struts/shocks.

If they are knock-offs from ebay, fit on your car, and work you should be doing a happy dance

Ive never owned a set, but expectations woudlnt be all to high. Basically they are fancy cheap lowering springs. Stock struts on a lowered car is not ideal, although you can get away with it for a bit. Im guessing the cheap springs are whats making the noise somehow.

What weight rating were the springs?

you get what you pay for.
Buy junk and expect random noises, shitty performance.

if you do buy ebay ones for like 30 40 bux, get some real nice struts.

or you will blow your struts, ball joints, tie rods, tires, alignment, end links and all bushings.
