No mine dont squeek, but my rear passenger side makes a clunking noise when I hit bumps. Kind of sounds like a bad strut, but I checked it and for now there are no leaks.

Like I said, if you install it right. There will be no noises and the edfc will work just like what they advertised. But you've got to follow the installation instructions of the edfc to the tee though. There is no short cut for that.

Hope it helps.
i can get the TEIN RA's for 1510 shipped to my door.

i didnt really do any research on the RA, the price of the RA kinda scare me since if im planning to go with the flex i was going to buy the edfc later.

and the price of both the flex and buddyclub are pretty much the same right now.

sorry for late reply...nope the bc's on mine don;t squeak at all...just a bumpy ride setted to almost the softest settings...but if u go for buddy clubs u just have to deal with it...as for the tien flex..i would say skip it..only tien's i'd go for are RA's and up...i just not a tien fan nomore...not good enuf for the track...and yes the buddy clubs makes 2 coilover systems for the s2k...one is the buddy club racing spec dampers which are mostly for street/track type dampers and the other is the p1 racing dampers which are race use only kind...those i think might be too hardcore and price range is out of the picture...p1 racing dampers go for about 3500 usd around

If you already have the Konis then this would be a straight bolt in. I on't think you would have to drill anything.
