I have had super low king springs in my VT for a while now and as far as i know it has squeeked ever since i had it done.
There is only a few roads that i can hear it on but these roads are bumpy.
It sounds like a magnified sound of a pin dropping on a sheet of glass if you get my drift.
The springs dont seem to be loose but have play in them when the car is fully on a hoist with no weight on the springs.
What could this noise be and could it be totaly unrelated to the springs

did you fit new shocks when you fitted the lowered springs.... i read that you have to fit new shorter shocks cos of the shorter springs.... squeak sounds like its from suspension bushes... i'm not sure how you can stop the squeak with out fitting new urathane bushes that are fitted with a lubri****...

Check the bushes in the sway bar link pins. They cause lots of problems
