They are right, I read the write up, and it's the taping that prevents it from making the noise. The bad thing is that I don't have no idea how to do it. I was thinking maybe we could hook up one day and do it together if you knew how, since you only live bout 2 hours away from me!! Thanks for the tip fellas!!
I'd be game for getting together and working on it if you'd like. I think it's the silicone sealer that keeps things from squeeking though because I have the rear shocks taped like the write-up says, but no silicone. Let me know when you'd want to do it. I think next weekend is already full for me. My brother is driving up at Summit Point in a PCA event, so I'm going to go with and get some photos of him on the track, and maybe even get a little track time myself in his car. Let me know what works for you though, I should be able to work in some time whenever.
So when you guys are talking about the GC's squeaking, like just how bad are they? Is it a noticable noise when you're driving or do you just hear it when you get in and out of the car or put shit in the trunk or what? I've been dying to get some new suspension, but maybe GC's aren't the way to go.

It does it all the time, cluncking and clacking. Even some of the people that have taped them up, and silicone glued them like the write up, still get the noises. The bad thing is, once you tape them, and glue them, you are stuck with them forever, no selling them. That's whey I haven't done it. I plan on running regular springs for daily driving, and the GC for show slamming purposes only.

Well, I ended up getting the GC's and AGX's anyways, and they don't make hardly any sounds at all. They're only about a month and a half old now, so maybe it takes time. I've heard the front struts squeak like once or twice when going over a speed bump, but no clunking sounds. And it wan't very loud. I've only lowered my car about 2 inches in the front and about and inch and a half in the rear, so maybe they make more sounds when you really slam your suspension. Anywho, I am overall very, very pleased with the ride and look they give my car, much better than the H&R springs I used to have. Anything to get rid of that terrible fender gap!
When you guys say your doing the GC AGX setup, are you:
1-getting the B14 rear and B13 front or
2-getting the B14 front and rear AGX's
I heard that by getting the B13 fronts, you can comfortably set the coilovers lower. WHat do you think of this setup?
There is a GB going on for: B14 KYB AGX's for $370. With that said, would it be worth it to participate in this GB or spend the extra $60 and get the b14 rear and B13 front.

WHere did you hear about the 240sx idea?? I think you mean the B13 sentra front KYB AGX struts and B14 rears. This gives you about an inch of travel, if you use coilovers.

If you get the clucking noise, try jacking the car up and rotating the the spring a little bit. Sometimes if can shift a little..
If you're afriad of doing the silicone becuase it's permenant, remember you can buy just the sleeves from GC and re-use the springs and the rest of the hardware later.
The whole point of most of this isn't your tires rubbing... it's suspension travel.
