i had the same problem, i put some lube near the top of the coils and it lightened the noise a lot (still present at times), i believe the body shop used graphite as the lube

I guess I'm just used to those sounds whenever tuning a car or changing things to gain performance. Only thing is, with the "squeaking" you're referring to, it's really difficult to pinpoint what it could be without actually hearing it in person.

waveycat,
you're right, some of the members' problem was the bushings, but mine was different. the tech readjusted all of my bushings and it still didn't help. it ended up being the coilovers (for me at least), good luck. if you bring it to a suspension shop, they should be able to tell you right off the bet.

i was going to get a pair of Euro Spec BiX from steve during my accident but he couldnt get any more used ones and the new ones cost about the same as US spec. since the lighting pattern wasnt that much of a difference i stuck with US spec.

700USD is a great deal - go for it...make sure that the partnumbers end with 37 61 and 38 61 and not with 39 61 or 40 61 as the lightpattern in those last two lights are rather useless to you.

Actually, it costs closer to $ 15 to make. See how much more reasonable that is?
