Default coilovers & cold weather

Does anyone else have this problem with there coilovers being very noisy when its cold out? Most of the time durning winter my coilovers are very noisy, they make sounds as if something is loose with my rear suspension. These past few weeks the weather has been 50+ degrees and they dont make one sound anyone know why this happen? I have Tein CS coilovers

I had these coilover checked out 3 times over the winter and I was told every time the coilovers are fine and they're installed correctly

I have a similar thing, when its cold in the morning they make a bit of noise when I go over a medium sized bumps. I have the Cusco Zero-2s.

Im not worried though as im sure its just the temperature.

I noticed on the HKS coilover has what looks like a rubber wrap around to top or bottom of the rear springs (Can find the pic I saw, but its covering just the first or last part of the coil). I think something like this might cancel it out completely as it sounds like the springs are banging either on themselves or on the seat.

Or maybe something like this coil wrap, go to page 5.
