Tanbe springs just installed but front creaks
I just installed my Tanbe springs but it makes a creaking sound when I turn or go up on the curbs.....did I do something wrong on the installation?

Does it sound like coils are touching? It honestly doesn't sound like it, but after a while of riding like this, i noticed rust would accumulate on the parts where coils were touching each other over bumps because it chipped the top protective layer on the springs.
Last time i did this (i highly recommend this) i installed clear but thick rubber tubing from home depot through the top and bottom coils to prevent them from slightly rubbing causing the noise you describe.
Best to do this before spring installation, otherwise its time to jack her up and install on all four corners.

I installed the NF210 and it rides very similar to stock.... It feels better than stock height and it hugs the street better. Its not too low though but I hope it settles down like half an inch more.
