Default zeal b6`s=annoying?

Anyone have the whored zeal b6 squeek problem? anyone know how to get rid of it? I`ve had them for a little more than two months and the squeeking is persistently annoying, sometimes getting louder in the rain.

lolz, good point, but for normal friends they think its annoy, same with me but I fix the problem with loud music. Just hope the bushings wont wear out, do you think they would be cause their rubbing more than the stock ones, or is it just me thinking they rub more because their noisy?

if you don't like them then get rid of them.

there's plenty other comparable coilover setups out there.

autocrossing is fun, but do you road race, and if so where?

I have s6's with a little squeak on the rears which I think comes from the lower mounting point. Theres a rubber bushing on those mounting points which keeps making the noise I beleive.

Anyway its very mild I can only remember hearing it when I'm cruising at at less than 4 k RPM on city streets. Tire, and engine noise overwhelm it at any higher speeds. Also I cleaned all the shock mounting points on the car before I installed my shocks. That might have helped avoid the squeaks.
