Squeezing noise from lowered suspension
Does anyone know what a squealing/squeezing/swirling sound from the front suspension at low speeds when I turn the wheel either way? I got the car lowered with tein s springs, and I want to know if this is common from lowering the car?

The tires rubbing against the wheel wells?

Your suspension would only make a noise when the suspension travels up and down. Is this happening at the slow speeds that you mention?
Are you sure it's not the front tires on the pavement? I'm sure they are different tires than your stock tires and they might sound different. How far do you have to turn the wheel when you hear it? If it only makes the noise when you turn it all the way, your tires might be rubbing on something. It could also be something in your steering assembly, tie rods etc.

the only thing I can think of is your new springs rubbing against the strut tower. Also check all bolts/nuts and re-tighten them. And lastly, it could also be that ABS cable braket (unlikely but possible).

i have had these tires before and it doesnt make that sound, also the tires dont rub. it sounds a little like the power steering is swirling sound and when you hit bumps turning and low speeds.

Did you have the car aligned after the spring install? Did they cut the bump stops as outlined in the instructions? Those are the only things I can think of given your description.
