Illumina Struts- just a quick question

Are they prone to being noisey? I think I am gonna get some with the HR springs. Sometimes I hear about noisey suspensions. I def. dont want one. What makes some aftermarket suspensions noisey?

The noisy part has nothing to do with the struts, usually a strut mount or ball joints, lower control arm bushings gone bad.

I have illuminas and don't hear this noise you speak off. When you first drive the car after its been sitting for a night, you might hear a little noise when you hit a bump or something as the shocks need to loosen up, doesn't take very long though.

1) Incorrect installation.
2) Cheap suspension components. (YGWYP4)
