PREYLUDE

I've had my 01 Type SH lowered with eibach pro-kits for about a month now and recently on some hard turns I can hear creaking noises...

I never had the shock-knock noises on my stock suspension, but I think this might be different.

Anyone have any advice?

my car has 11k miles on it...so the shocks are pretty new, they are the factory shocks.

It has rained in my area...but i dont see how the weather could affect this.

I bought my car used w/neuspeed springs on stock dampers like a month ago, and they are so blown. My car makes the same creaking noise. Consider upgrading when you can, the stock ones won't last very long w/the eibachs (or any lowering springs for that matter).

you need to check this for me. remove the tires of the shock that makes noise. and see if there's any covering, (called shock boots). stock shocks suppose to have shock coverings (covers the part that goes in and out of the shock body). But there's chance that it might not.

if there's no shock bootsand you see bare silver shock, then what happened is that, your shock are wet and your bushings are yet too. when bushings are wet, it tends to expand. and when it expands, it will rub against that silver shaft part of the shock causing it to "squeek". you should try to get shock boots. that might help. shock boots can be bought on tire/suspension stores. or just go to home depo and get hose that can be acted as a shock boots.

if there's IS shock boots. then you might wanna consider getting new bushing kit. it's unlikely but, your stock bushing might not have enough rubrication.

just wait until it's nice and sunny day. and see if it still squeeks. that might just solve the problem~

good luck~ i hope this helped.
