Default Spring weird sound

hi anyone here, my right front spring got the sound like "eeett eeet ngeekkk ngekk" whn i start my car in morning. Then after drive awhile,around 10 mins then no more the sound. I not sure whether the sound is come from the spring lar,just guess..anyone face this kinda prob? By the way, my front left one is alright,but it has another sound,whn i go throu the bumper which is hard(like Parking in Sg.Wang),whn landing it will have the sound KRREEEAAAAAKKKKK,but if i pass those soft altho high bumper,this sound won appear. Isit my pillow cover spoilt? Or the spring pro?

im using APM lowered spring. Absorber didnt change .

thanks for helping me !!

Not all "adjustables" are height adjustable, bro. Never use the springs to adjust the height. Height adjustables are those with thread on the bottom bracket. like these:

I'm no sifu, Caleb but I'll tell you what I know.

If you compress the springs too much, the springs will not be able to do its job properly.The springs must have enough space in between the coils in order for it to "play". Try imagining if you hold a small piece of spring in between your 2 fingers. Then imagine if you press the spring as hard as you could. Can the spring still bounce ? It's "dead".

I don't exactly know how to put in words. PM me yr hp no, maybe it's easier to talk over the phone.
