ok the problem is i JUST installed my new springs not even 12 hours ago...im getting alot of irregular squeaking problems and am kinda concerned...is this normal? and if so how long does it usually take for them to settle down?!

 

[eibachzx3]

ps their eibach sportlines if thats any help to you guys

spings aren't supposed to settle, if they do...then theres a problem with the springs. the creaking will be pretty much normal with the stock isolators or if they r not correctly seated.

do u have sportlines on yours or just stuff you heard? what are stock isolators?

 

[Kicknzx3]

don't have sportlines..and that doesn't make a difference. thats what lowered suspension will do on many cars, specially when its cool out. isolators r the rubber pc's that sit on the perch and rear spring at the bottom...helps eliminate friction and noise

Go chek and make sure the springs are all the way turned to the stop on the base if not redo it so that they do..I have sportlines and have for about a year. They never made a sound once..

Sorry forgot to add I live in the snow so its cold here 5-6 months of the year..nary a noise

yeah, the stock isolators may be the prob, you can get better ones at www.newedgeperformance.com , a friends zx3 has had some squeking also, mostly from the rear

So did you check and make sure that they were at the stop?

Get new isolators, you will be happy you did, especially in a few months.
