creaks and noises..what's everyone doing ab. it?

my creaks and noises are 'creaping' out more and more.. (yes, it's probably my suspension of eibach and tok's).

i'm guessing a lot of other guys have this issue also. are you guys just 'dealing with it'? or is there something you guys are doing to minimize/get rid of the creaks?

what is making the noise? each noise has a different solution.

I.E. door panels that creak may be fixed by a little soft foam on the mounting poins or dynamat.

or turn up the radio lke medic said

Put the stock springs back in with new isolator sleves and bushings, then get the AGX's and your car will be nice and quiet and still handle like mad!!!

I rather have the noise than to go back to stock ride height.

what I did that helped with some noises was to tighten every screw and bolt you see and I also stuffed the doors with polyfill. I still cant seem to get rid of the noise in the dash so I guess I will have to take that apart sometime and see whats going on in there.

My car creeks so much now. I think I am going totake your advice njmaxseltd, but I most likely put H&R's in with the AGX's.

Re: creaks and noises..what's everyone doing ab. it?

The first day i have the car and the first day i cranked up my non-bose stereo, my door makes rattles and later somewhere near the b-pillar, then near the sunroof. I never took it in, because im lazy and i seriously think my dealer where do more harm than good when they pry my doors open. So, i just learn do curse at them every single time i drive!! Luckily i want a new ride in a year, i have suffered 2 years already. Also the good points of this car outweigh these rattles.
I said it from the very beginning my 00' was build more cheaply compared to my 92'SE.
