They still squeak!!!!!!!!!!
 
So i installed my Tein-S tech sorings and 2 weeks later I've noticed a very distinctive squeak coming from the front. At first i had forgotten the little paper gasket that goes on the of the shock but i put it on and they still squeak! Its so frustrating idk what to do :'(

Astroglide?
I was thinking of lubing up the bottom of the springs where it meets with the shock. Maybe that'll work?

Could it be the rubber grommets? Also did the springs you have come with a rubber wrapping around the end of the spring? If you look at this picture you will see that I wrapped the coils with the stock one and held it with a zip tie while I used the spring compressors.

Not saying that's your issue just another think to check out. I would think if the spring is rubbing against itself you are going to hear it.

yea you need the gasket piece and the that rubber part that wraps around the spring.

i have zero squeeks on mine.

The Teins already come with their version of the rubber already attached. I had mine installed by z1 and I have no squeaks.
