question about spring squeal.

hey guys...what should i wrap the top/bottom parts of the aftermarket springs to stop squealing? possibly electrical tape or something...is there some kind of company that makes a specific tape?...thx everyone for your help in advance.

they are called "spring isolators" and basically they're just rubber tubing that wraps around the spring where it contacts the seat on the strut. You should be able to get some at auto stores.
