Make sure to add some extra grease in the front sway bar bushings.

^^^ My theory is that his front sway bar is the problem I guess we will see what he finds out when he looks under his car!

I am having a similar problem with my 05 evo 8 mr. It sounds like a creaky door kinda. I have been searching around and it seems like people are having to replace the bilstiens in the mr versions and newer evos. Do you guys think they could be the problem. Thanks for the input.

You check all swaybar bushings? Try lubing them up and try pushing the car down with your hand like you did before. Probably won't be a permanent fix unless you use some super thick lube, but at least you would know the source.

The springs aren't aligning with the top hats.

i dont think that is the problem. i think that the sway bar bushings need to be greased. if what u said is the problem then handling would be effected in a negative way and it isnt.. either way im going to go to the shop were my springs were installed and have them look at it
