hey guys...i was wonderin if ne of u have this preoblem...when i first got my cround controls in to my 5th gen prelude..the front passenger spring was hellla squeeky and then my had a bbuddy lube it up and it was fine. the sqeek went away. at first i thight it new and needed to be broken in and now after about half a year the sqeek is startin to come back. i talked to my other buddy wit the same car and spring (who installed it springs himself) and he never had that problem the shop i had it installed said that it comes wit every spring..and theres no way around it...which i think is bs). do u guys think its cuz i got bad spring or the shop ( im not gonna talk ish bout the shop where i got it installed at, so dont worry MACH 3 =P) that installed it for me was bad? please if u guys can help...thats be graeat.

 

i dont think u can stop the squeaky noise

i have the same springs and mine does that too

just bump ur music
u wont notice it

hahahahah

 

yea thats what i be doin but jus knowin the fact that it does that jus bothers me..but oh well what can i do. ima try to lube it up again and see what happens...thanks

 

some high performance spring and damper systems(even some cheap ones) just make noises, gushing and wooshing and the squeeking spring noises because they are not designed for being quiet, just for making your car handle like a dream

 

Are you sure its not your struts/shocks, sometimes when they get a little old they squeak.

Those are the shocks also, it mainly happens when you go over bumps. Its the shock pushing the tire back the ground.

 

try replacing the strut bearings.

 

My car makes so many suspension noises it drives me nuts. If I wasn't being so cheap I would buy some new (mugen showa) and replace the TEINs. The shocks squish like mad in the winter and the car always has the rear shock knock on both corners. It seems to be a toss up in the 5th gens, some do and some dont.

 

i kno its the springs...cuz i had it lubed up once and was perfect for bout 4 months...but it jus started to come back and its gettin louder. i mean it weird cuz i kno otherpeople wit the same year prelude and the same ground controls...and they dont have this problem. i guess i m jus gonn ahave to lube it up again. thanks for all ur reply. if u guy have ne other suggestions id like to hear them . thanks alot

 

Try using some silicone tubing.Cut a slit in th tubing and put it over the coils on the springs.The Honda dealership recommended doing this when I bought my Neuspeed race springs from them.The noise didn't really bother me,so I didn't end up doing it.If you look at the Tein lowering springs(not the coilovers) they've got rubber on the tightest coils for noise dampening.Try it,it should last longer than "lube" as that will just wear off or collect dirt and crude from the road.:yes:

 

what kind of silicon hose should i use? is there a certain size i should use? please let me know. thanks
