That's assuming your going to use the v2 front rubber spring seat**
Yes, v2 and thanks.

I am now getting the dreaded squeak. These springs have definitely been a disappointment.

I'm in Australia and was literally about to buy the V.2 Kit for my car, however this thread is turning me away from it.
The dealer i was looking at purchasing them from has said that if they are not torqued correctly, that is when issues with knocking happen etc.
He seems to think the install process is crucial, stating the bloody obvious i would have thought!

Most of us, if not all of us are having this done at very reputable and experienced shops. Based on the various post, this seems to be an issue with the product.

I'm having my rear adjusted up a little more to see if the squeaking sound goes away. My front right is making the clicking sound again after installing the v1 springs. I'm tired of dealing with these and will most likely purchase the Eibach front springs and reinstall my oem rear springs. I reached out to the owner on LinkedIn and he wanted me to take measurements but I'm not doing that. I'm about 2k into these springs and about at my end with them.

I think you can google to see which version you have. My dealership ended up replacing the springs with new ones and the squeaking went away. Free for me since I had it installed by them originally
