My UPR sleeves do not make any noise...

The only issue with the above kit is you have to use the QA1 strut...I'd pick the cheap Strange Adj over them any day, quality has really gone down since HAL left.

Yeah I still think they are a little to light, I would go atleast a 150 and I would have started at a 175.

We crushed a set of my dads 93 Cobra, now it is a full weight car up front with a blower but we ended up with a 225.

Thanks for the leads, not sure which ones have came from you but My new site is slowly getting up and running as I take things to a new level. www.rnhperformance.net

and jerry, i do have the spacers in it. the bottoms and tops. do i really need the top ones? cuz i only have enough threads to fit that big nut on, no extra, because the top spacers are so big. i didnt thikn i could run no top spacer though so i just zipped the nut on.

So you are using no spacers on top. Theres a very good chance this is where you noise comes from. You need 1/8" of clearance between the upper spring perch and the CC plates. You have to check it in all positions (turn the wheel some and check it. My MM kit came with a 1/8" rod for checking clearance and I used a small mirror to see on the back side. If the spring perch has been hitting the CC plate or body you should see some scuff marks if you look closely.
