There's your problem. Lots of people have had issues with those making noise

The OEM mounts & new OEM strut bearings were all you needed


As for other noises....it usually has to do with the install (error).

Can confirm, I have the ECS mounts and they are noisy... It initially drove me insane because I was chasing my tail thinking I borked the install.

My noises have mostly subsided... I'm not sure if it is the 4,500 miles I've put on the suspension thanks partly to a roadtrip, or that fact that summer has brought daily 100+ temps to AZ and the mounts are probably melting into silly putty.

I have 20k miles on my car. If I install these springs, could I get away with using all of the OE parts associated with it? Most likely will get spacers.

I installed my springs at 27k, and I'm still on stock struts, shocks, and mounts. Just make sure to get new OE bearings and all new hardware.

x4, my ECS mounts squeak but only when cold (CA cold, say between 40-60 degrees, not sure if it would be worse or not in real cold) but when it's warm (70+) or after driving and warming them up they are quiet. For me it's definitely a temperature dependent thing. Will go back to OEM parts in the future, I've used both ECS and 034 mounts in the past and it can be a real crap shoot. Only one of my ECS mounts squeaks BTW, but was silent initially.

That's probably the lowest I've seen for VWRs

It's due to the wheel setup. On stock 18's it looks higher

PSA...you'll want to pull your fender screw if you are running et45 19X8.5's with 235/35's.

My new wheels. 19x8.5, +45 with 235/35. I need to do fender screw mod, but damn do they fill the fender well!
