Default Should i be worried? (spring advice)

I just installed Tein s tech springs two weeks ago. Ever since install there are random noises coming from the front, little pops and clicks. I have checked the bolts and nuts a couple times to make sure everything was snug and they are. I was also told that this was normal and that it would go away shortly. Is that true??


Also, I need to get an alignment but I dont want to wait till i get my new wheels. I can already tell that the wheels are leaning in a little. Once i get new wheels, will it be necessary for me to get another alignment??

Mainy just concerned about the noises. Should i lube the springs or something?

You could get some rubber hose and cut it and put it on the bottom and top of the spring.

I figured thats what the noise is from but I dont recall seeing this come up much in other spring threads. Also the Teins are a pretty moderate drop compared to others so I would think the other springs like eibach would be worse.

There are a ton of people on here with springs so hopefully there will be some more feedback

I've had my B&Gs for quite a well and I have had creaks and groans from day one. Mine is mainly in the Rear passenger area. I triple checked the tightness of everything and it doesnt go away. I just live with it now. This car was never meant to be quiet anyways

Yeah, i mean i know everything is tight but just hearing that noise makes me think something is wrong. Mine haven't been on for that long and i haven't driven it too too much since so maybe it will still go away i hope
