squeaky rear struts

[JakeyPoo]

hey everybody! so I have a question for you... I recently installed toyko D specs with rce black springs on my wagon and the rears struts have squeaked from day one. I have 1/4 inch butt spacers as well as camber bolts.  it almost sounds as if the strut tower bolts are torqued way to much.  what is the proper lbs for the rear towers? also of anyone wants to chime in with any other ideas please do as I am at a total loss haha.

Did you use the round spacers on the struts so the strut tops would fit correctly? Dspecs are meant for 02-03 top hats and need the spacer to fit later ones.

I did use the round strut tops, they were group N. I ordered everything from Turninconcepts and I made sure it would all work.

Easy enough, I was messing with the same struts last weekend to hold my car up while my STi junk is being built.
