Default BC/Apex coilovers creaking

Hello I had some Apex coilovers installed on thursday, im happy with the ride hide height etc, but when slowing down to a stop at junctions or lights, im hearing a creaking coming from the front. Has anybody experienced a similar noise? I would like some advice in identifying the cause. Thanks

If i remember rightly the creaking was a common problem on the apex coilovers for the 200sx s14 as well. Dont think there was a cure either, think people just lived with it. Might worth dropping bren a message. see if he can shead any light on it.

I had creaks and clunks at first but I was told they're just settling. They're fine now ;-)

Lube the spring bottom and top with lithium grease.
