I just had Tein S Tech installed with stock strut on my DC5R. There are some noises coming from the front such as clunking and creaking are from the spring turning in the seat of the base.... is it normal with this suspension design and you can't do anything about it ???... I heard that part that rubs when you turn your wheel will eventually wear in a bit and the noise will go away??

at first i thought i was.. then i found out the lower coil is moving a little because of some scratch marks. then put in the silencer tube, less noise tho. could it be the upper coil now?? :(
