squeaky coilovers

Hi guys i have just installed my new coils a week ago and have just noticed that they make a slight squeaking noise. sort of like rubber on metal, but only at very low speeds ( 20mph ) and only hear it when the window is down, the coils are made by KW, any ideas???

hi mate, this mite not be of any use but before I started driving bmws I owned a vw bora which i Fitted out with coilovers. I had a similar type of noise and the problem was that when you start to wind cars down certain suspension components can start to interfere with others. I very much doubt theres anything wrong with the struts mate coz the ones you have bought are good! mite be worth gettin it up on a ramp and havin a look. Your car looks great but thats sometimes the price you pay for that look. good luck buddy
