well at least there is a problem.
It seems when i turn the wheel to the left it squeaks. i have coilovers and its annoying me... its only from the right front suspension and only for left at a full stop (IE: getting out of parking spots and so forth) i cant figure it out. it was installed properly and its been on my car for over 6 months i dont see what could cause the problem i was thinking balljoints? but that would be absurd after only 18 months of driving.

Any ideas what could be causing it. its not only a squeak but some wierd noise hard to describe i will try to record it next time i am in the car

what kind of car, and coilovers. I have skunk2 and they grind and pop all the time. Figured it was part of the prob with cheap coilovers.

P5 with tom motorsport japan. its not usual clunks and clanks with coils.

Ok, I saw on a canadian P5 website, them talking about SPOOL springs. They lower the P5, 2 inches and supposedly are the best so far. Heard of these?? Do you like your coilovers? Were they expensive??

yea i heard of spools springs. terry has them made from a shop locally.
my springs were alright in price.. cant say they were expensive since i get 90% of my stuff at cost and some for free.
i wanna switch but the thing is it cost $$$ to install and crap like that i paid already just gonna drive me nuts to see my coils go to **** and spend more cash on another set, and watch them go wrong too!
sorry for venting.

I installed mine myself, the P5 suspension is quite easy to work with. I have two probs....one, coilovers are junk unless you order high dollar stuff, and wheels are hard to find when tucking up to rim. Eibachs' do not give enough drop along with most other springs, but the spools have me interested. Their website page has a killer yellow M3 that looks good. I am thinking a two inch drop with 18's would look good, rather than slammed on factories and having such a rough suspension. I have thought about getting Mazdaspeed struts, but as low as I am, I think they would wear out quick with the skunks'. Will figure out something soon enough....Later on

seems u have the same stupid problems.
the coilovers for our cars are retarded all of them. seems they dont drop the front as much as the back. yea i am thinking bags or spools springs. but the install is the problem i cant have my car outta commission for long its my daily driver.

I am waiting on spool to email me back, but if they are as good as they say, I may end up getting a set. My coilovers squeaked bad today, it was cool this morning, and they dont like cold weather. Later

I had the same problem with my shunk2 coilovers.. the driver side (left side) makes a weird noise when i turn... also im always getting a squeeking noise all around... the big problem is i live in new orleans... the worse streets in the world.... and bumps all over... and it drove me crazy... so i put my eibachs back in..... i really want to go lower....
