low speed noise on new coilies

Post by captainbeyond88 »

hi i just fitted my new coilies the other day. they're the hottunings ones.
have noticed a strange squeaking noise from the front passenger side at low speeds. <30
as soon as it gets above that it dissapears.
have had a look and couldn't see anything loose or rubbing.
could this be due to the car settling properly or something worse?
thanks

they are good, the ride is really hard and they take all the body roll out of the car which is nice but you get what you pay for. They ain't going to be on the same level as eibach kits or weitecs but for the money they aint bad.

ive just had my bushes changed, and bushes are normally bout £20 each, all together there are 8 bushes, 4 either side, correct me if im wrong anyone, but it coust bout 250 if u want to get them all done, but normally its only one or 2 that go. prior to get it done, research poly bushes, they are much longer lasting, and will sabe u money in the long run. theres a company on ebay selling them, i think for bout 130, well worth it me thinks!
