Guys, I realize this is adding onto an existing thread BUT I no longer have the stock plastic silencers from the OEM springs..

I had the Swift Spec-R springs installed(At a shop) on my low mileage (36K) Sport 7AT. I also had the Z1 street front upper control arms as well as the rear SPC Camber arm and toe bolts.

I researched EVERYTHING on this set-up except this one oversight: Day 3 (with day 1 and 2 being trouble free) with the springs and they are so loud and squeeky that its embarassing. I just confirmed that the shop DID not swap the plastic silencer sleeves from the OEM springs..Worse the stock springs do not have those sleeves on them, I don't know if they were ever on to begin with. I'm fairly certain this is why I'm hearing this...

Whats my options now? I checked ebay and have no idea how to get these sleeves. Would anybody be able to suggest an alternative and more importantly how to go about it?

Thanks guys!
