    Hell yeah for FEEL's coilovers. I'm in the market for new suspension, but nothing that baller. I also need a new steering rack.. my creak is terrible and I think something may be broken. I'll have to see how the car drives with the new coilovers before I make a definitive decision on what to do with the steering rack.

    I got a sick deal on them... so ballin on a budget :P

    As far as I know the creak is due to parts in the rack rubbing when normally they wouldnt. Since this is the case there is no lubrication inside the accordian boots from the factory, but if you lube that slider under the boot up real good with some moly lube or assembly lube the creak should go away. I would try that first is you havent already. Its definitely worth a shot before you go looking for a new rack.

    Yeah, I've been planning on trying that for some time as well. My only concern is that I was involved in a bit of an accident a few years back and I think the teeth inside the rack may have been chipped or damaged some how.

    Also, do you think that zip ties will hold the accordian boots in place? That's what I think the DIY said, but I'm unsure if I wanna risk it.

    Ahh I see, thats sucks dude. As far as the zip ties, they will be fine. Just make sure you use low profile cable ties to get a 360* seal...

    You should be able to find them at most hardware stores. I just grabbed that pic off goole for a quick example.

    Awesome, I appreciate the advice about the zip ties. I'll be sure to grab those at the hardware store along with some grease.
