Since my H&R SS's went in i hear a lot more creaks and rattles... one i absolutely hate is a consistant creak above my head where the vert top connects to the car... any way of tightening this or getting rid of it?

Although it is possible to adjust the top yourself I would strongly recommend having a good trim shop do it.

Also, vert tops tend to make noise. Stiffening up the suspension is going to make this problem worse. To a certain extent you will probably have to just live with it.

If you do adjust anything, be sure to mark it with white out or scribed lines or tape so you can return it to the way it was if you adjust erroneously.

the latches are adjustable, mine used to rattle over bumps where the top meets the windshield header. I adjusted the latch hooks so they would pull tighter when closed and that did the trick.
