suspension noises after drop help!

i have searched and searched, and havent found the answer to my question. After installing my lowering springs, i have been having a squeaking creaking sound coming from the rear springs, as well as a slight rattle, what could possibly be causing this, it is driving me nuts, as i have tried tightening the bolts that hold down the strut, and the ones holding the assembly in place, but nothing works. What do i do.

Stratablak314 is an unknown quantity at this point
I have this problem to. I read the install DIY and did all the research I could before I installed my tociko/teins. I was careful to put everything back the way it was (it was all already marked on my 02) and even regreased the bearings on the front. After about 2 months my right front makes a popping when turning hard right at 20mph or so and my backs are very squeaky when compressed. I thing the back is just the springs spinning/sliding some where the are seated when the compress. I'm just hesitant to take it all apart again.. then i'd have to realign AGAIN damn..

I know, i am so frustrated, i talked to a mechanic and he said it may be the cap in the strut, maybe the bearings going bad, i really dont know, my solution for now is to just turn up my subs so i cant hear it.... bad solution but works for now...
