Squeaky Suspension

[augtenth]

I have a 1997 Acura Integra RS Coupe. It is lowered 2" with rims. Whenever I sit down in my car, a dry sqeak is heard from the wheel well area.
Do I have bad struts? Bad bushings? When I rock my car, it squeaks as well.
I have noticed that I may have uneven tire wear (camber) on the inner surfaces of my front end tires.
What can I do to fix the camber and the squeaking?
Thanks.

What did you do to lower the car?

[augtenth]

I actually bought the car already lowered with rims...figured I would save some dough that way. I think it has H&R springs...not sure about struts. If it has the original factory struts, could those be no good any more?

Most likely. That may not be the problem though. It would be a wise decision to buy some better struts anyway.

It could also be that when they lowered it they left out the rubber insulator that goes on the bottom of the spring that will cause a squeak every time.

Thanks guys for the ideas and info. It is something I definately need to get looked at. I'll probably try to put it up on some floor jacks and see what the heck is going on.
Thanks again.

Here she is. I think she looks nice. Views from the front angle and rear angle are sweet. I put in carbon fiber taillights but don't have any picks of the back of the car yet.

The squeaks your hearing are most likely missing rubber caps at the top of the strut tower but it could also be your brakes. What i mean is if you leave you e-brake on and get in your car when the car sinks the rear brakes will let loose then bind again causing a "sqeak" to see if this is the prob just sit down in your car with the e-brake on and then try again with the e-brake off and see if it still sqeaks. As for the camber problem i had the same problem with mine but all you need to fix that is an alignment.
