I have an 02 sedan (50k miles) and recently I have been hearing little sweaking noises from front left. Once I drive for about 15 mintues or so at higher speeds, the noises go away. They don't sweak during turning/cornering or going over speed bumps. At first I thought the tire was bad but tire pressure is fine. I am on eibach pro-kit with stock springs. Can the stock springs be going bad (driven about 7k with that set up). If so, what are the warning signs? Any suggestions ?

7k miles on stock shocks/struts with any kind of drop is a long while. It may be time to go ahead and replace them.

If you can afford it, Tokico Illuminas because they're adjustable. But a set of Tokico Blue's(HP's) are good as well
