BMR springs noise
sup guys,, i order a set of BMR springs (1 inch drop) from apex and got them installed over the weekend.. the car looks even better than before BUT i began to notice a slight squeaking sound coming from the car not 100 percent sure were its coming from, and its not like i have to go over bumps or anything just the slightest thing sets it off i do know that it did not do it before the springs. also while having the car off and parked i kinda started pushing my weight against it to try and budge it and it squeaks all over the place i do not think this is normal any ideas???

When they installed mine, one of the springs was not sitting flush in its "cup" (don't know the real name)
Anyways, I could actually see it not sitting flush. Once fixed sound was gone! Good luck. Neuf cruz |

I had the same issue with eibach springs on my v6.. squeaking sound.. mechanic said its the springs itself that is doing it because everything is flush in cups.. I sprayed all springs with delray motorcycle chain oil and squeaking is gone.

Trust me, it would seriously bother me. If my suspension, springs, etc made noises I wouldn't like it.

Hmm... I just ordered these same springs because I have not heard of any problems like this with these unlike the pfadts. Will be getting them installed in a couple weeks. Please follow up after you find out what the problem is.

You don't have nothing to worry about, we have sold a ton of springs and have never had an issue of the springs making noise. We stand behind our parts 100% which is why we have a lifetime warranty on our lowering springs.
