No I didn't. You talking about lubricating between the rubber isolator on top of the struts or lubricating between the spring and the plastic washer between the spring and the collars on bottom?

All my suspension noises have been top hat and sway bar related with my Bilsteins. One time the top nut was loose on the front but I'm sure that's not it here. I ran stock sways and stock end links for months without issue, but I never slammed the car really low. They are dead silent right now but I had noises for weeks at a time I couldn't solve (turned out to be rear lca and rear sway end link tolerance issue when I thought it was my janky spring adapters).

I've got the blue plastic disks on the perch, and you're right, everything gets dirty very quickly. I wonder if the rubber on the top hats needs to be replaced. Got it assembled from the previous owner and haven't been able to remove the nut that holds the top hat to the strut in either front assembly. Ideally, I'd like to get a go-pro or some type of camera in there so I can see what's going on when I get popping.
