Megan Coilover install

Installed some Megan Street series coilovers in my R53. Love them so far. I have them set on 8 (stiff) in the front and 10 (little softer) in the rear. Only issue I have is a noise coming from the right front. It almost sounds like a spring binding then releasing. Doesn't do it all the time and only at slow speeds steering lock to lock. Anybody else experience this with the Megans or even one of the other kits?

Bump. Problem is back with a vengeance, appearing in both front coilovers at slow speeds.

I have them for the R56 but it is probably the same thing. They need to be greases where they go into the top plates. Taken apart and have grease put all over the pillow ball area and the damper shaft.
