Comptech Springs squeak on speed bumps?

Anyone else have this problem? I've had no problems with my springs until I noticed this last week sometime.... Whats the problem? How can this be fixed? I'm glad I got these installed at an acura dealership.....

Mine squeaks too. I'm pretty sure it is the sway bars.

dude, you can call me a complainer, but I have so many noises coming from my suspension, I'm about to revert to 4x4 springs. I was seriously considering buying brand new springs and having PAA install them since I bought the present one's used and without the rubber sleaves. I also had a shop install them and they didn't lube the suspension up either. Whenever I enter a drivway with a dip or hit a gradual bump rather than a pothole, I get a noise of loose metal. but sometimes the car is silent. Its hard to explain and If I try to show the dealer, it might not show up. I just want a noise free suspension and the dropped look. I know I bitch alot, but I like to be problem free and this is my only gripe about the car.

Back when I had cut stock springs I got hate male from you guys for MONTHS! BUT, I didn't have a single noise. It may be the coils rubbing on one another (put the coil wraps around alternating coils), it may also be the sway bar. Spray some lube on it at the rubber mounts.

Lube?

So you guys suggest something as simple as WD40?
