Tein Suspension problems

Recent;y I installed a set of Tein Super Street Coilovers for my 2004 Vibe. It handles great and the 3 inch drop is cool. They problem I am having though is the noise that the front suspension is producing. The ball joints look good and the Hotchkis front sway is firmly in place. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Is it a loud creaking, groaning noise when turning or hitting bumps? My left front did this with my Tein S-Techs. The spring had come unseated at the top of the shock tower and was moving around due to an error when installing it. Try removing and replacing it if this seems to be the problem.

The coilovers are everywhere. Try http://www.monkeywrenchracing.com Look around at prices and get them to match it. The drop is three inches and honestly you do not want to go any lower than that.
