Squeaky CoilOvers ?

I posted a while back, but never resolved the problem. Responses indicated sway bar bushings - could still be the case. I had a tech look at the car, and he says it's the Pfadt CoilOvers making all the racket.

I don't think I agree, wholly, but want some opinions.

The car is a 2003 Z with coilovers. It swears and moans over EVERY LITTLE PAVEMENT inflection. It even moans when I get in and out of the car. I'm 30 pounds overweight, ideally, but Dayum.

Is it really the coilovers ?

I have seen a set of Pfadts squeaking/groaning because one of the little thrust washers on top of the spring was broke. Replaced it and all was quiet again.

BLEKVET, are you running First Generation or the newer Inverted/Featherlight?
