Default Spring Squeak?

Okay, when i get in or out hte car there is a squeak from my rear suspension. And i know its not my fatass because when skinny people get in it does it too. Its really annoying.

I ordered megan lowering springs, will those springs do the same?

Do you know if the megan springs have bump stops? Maybe its just the seat squeaking?

the squeak might not be coming from the springs. i'd take it into the dealership to get it checked out before swapping anything aftermarket in.

the aftermarket springs come with a rubber wrap for the dead coils. Squeaks come from the dead coils sitting on each other.

Its not the seat because its on both sides and when we stand on the door still it does it.

Because the megan ones were 50 bucks hahah

I hate the dealership.

Im buying them used, do you think they will have them?
