Sorry, let me try to clarify … the G uses springs that are closed on one end and open on the other. The closed end is meant to sit on a flat surface. The open end sits in a pad with a cutout pocket for the end of the spring wire to seat into.
Eibach recommends leaving ¼” to ½” space between the end of the coil and the spring seat pocket. This helps prevent spring noise when encountering large bumps. This is a tip actually printed in their catalog.
Hope this helps.

But like I said earlier, if it’s not a newly designed part, it’s gonna squeak again… the rears were changed in 05 with beefier ones to fix known problems with pre-05. I wish they would do that with the front (maybe they have?)
