He recommended me putting some whtie lithium grease. I will probably try all that when the rubbers come in. I wonder if there are better trouble free ways to drop the car - seems like noises seem to be a common issue. I never had any noise with my old car dropped on coilovers =/

 

Why are you guys replacing the insulators so often? I am on Tein's and I have yet to touch the insulators, that's over a year on the car with over 30k miles.

 

Tein doesn't have this problem. Must be a result of the different way the springs are wound. Tein is a constant spring rate. Eibach is progressive. That's just my shot in the dark though.

 

Just steve, I haven't put them on yet. I need to call Eibach soon, although I am getting used to the noise - some light music covers it very nicely

 

Tein S-techs are progressive and do have insulators, however, them being a hard plastic/rubber may be the reason they don't wear down.

 

I'm just going off of the info in the spring rates comparison sticky. Where did you find that out?

 

If your car still under car wwarranty taje to dealer. I have trd factory lowered and no clinching sound ride like stock and quiet

Probably the best suggestion. I don't think OP got his installed at the dealer though. I think that changes the game. I believe TRD parts are only warranted when installed at the dealer.

 

Look at Tein's website. They specifically state that S-techs are progressive springs.

 

You got it man, you got it.
