check your brake ? Did you low your car w/ the springs yet ? If you put them on your car too long ago then your struts and shocks should be blown by now. I had my eibach for about 5 months and my shocks were already gone. That's y I get coilovers instead.

it isn't my brakes.

but, mehdi recommended to reinstall my rear suspension, so once i do that and if afterwards it is still doing it, im going to go with the coilovers because there is no point of getting oem suspension parts because it would go bad again.

my question is about the coilovers, would they wear out after a while too, or would do last a lot longer?

nah, it isn't my brakes, they have been squeaking for a while now and i know what they sound like. i know it is my suspension because even when it is parked i would bounce the car up and down and you can hear the suspension squeaking. it is bothering me because i don't want to hear it anymore, but i don't want to spend mega money because i want to get a new car next year when my payments are up.

i just don't know what to do.

So do you have the eibachs on?? I didn't think the eibachs lowered your car enough to have an adverse affect on the stock struts.

*EDIT I forgot it was the rear squeaking. I just don't know why the spring itself would be squeaking. If anything a bad bushing or some rust on the lower arm
