I installed the tein tech s springs last night and today i started to notice a slight nothcy rubbing noise coming from the front of the car. Its more i hear it when i am turning or on a incline. Any help or suggestions would be nice i will prolly be taking it in tomm to get looked at and a alignment prolly. Unless you guys have any suggestions..
Thanks in advanced

I don't think allignment will fix this issue. You have videos/records of the sound? Have you properly installed the rubber insulators?

I only have rears but I think you have to take the rubber tube off the stock spring & use it on your tein spring. If you did this I would make sure they are sitting properly in the perches.

Sounds like either the sprint isnt set right or you move the sway bar or something. I would have to get under my car and check out what could rub. You sure the wheel well is all clipped down where it should be too?

Those can pop and bind but you said rubbing... There is a bearing up there and its cheap plastic with BBs in it. Either replace them with the heavy duty ones, get new stock ones, or just leave it.
