Post Front coil-over kits

I have the D&D Motorsports front coil-over kit and it seems to be a piece of crap. The spring is actually rubbing the acme threaded sleeve on the strut and making a terrible squeaking sound, not to mention it has actually worn the threads off a portion of the sleeve. I know that this is very bad for the springs and could eventually cause them to break, as well as introducing extra spring rate from the rubbing. I believe that the cause is the fact that the kit is 'universal', so the sleeve does not fit that tight over my Tokico 5-ways, allowing the spring to bow.
Can anyone who has front coilovers tell me how they like the brand they have?
