What type of noise are you getting. I put the Steeda lowering springs on and am getting a creaking noise from the left front.
I had the same on the left front. But, it slowly went away after about 5k miles.

i have steeda springs here waiting to go on ...whats the problem? i didn't plan on buying all new everything at the moment.. wonder why theres so many noise complaints after having the front end apart..
It's a weird creaking sound. If I turn right it goes away. It's whenever the spring is working. Not sure if that's even it. Ford charged me $250 t tell me they couldn't find it.

I do not know what is the case of other Colleagues, but I am pretty sure that mine is taht because I did not change these parts:

Front Strut Mounting Kit:

In June I am planning to do some tuning so at the same time I will replace above mentioned parts and let you know.
