Goldline suspension problems....

Hey guys,

I recently had a set of Sprint Springs in my car. I had 2" drop all the way around. However since the wheel well is higher in the front it did not look like an even drop. So I asked the shop to get lower springs for the front. What they ended up doing was cutting the front springs. Later I was told by a alignment shop that my alignment will never stay put now that I have cut springs in the front. So I went ahead and got new springs from Goldline. But now I have a bunch of squeeking and creaking sounds coming from my suspension from all angles when it's compressed at any bump or dip. Also I get rattling sounds from the front right wheel well like something is clattering against my wheel or something. I took a look and I couldn't see anything loose or anything, but then again I am no mechanic. When I had my spring springs, even with the front ones cut I had no sound at all from them and the ride was perfect. However with these goldline ones, the ride is good, but the sounds are worrying me. And that clattering sound from the wheel well has got me twice as worried. Does anyone know what might be going on? Or what I should do? I heard that Goldlines were good springs, but maybe not? I also only paid $100.00 for the set. Did I get ripped somehow? Also, the suspension had no noise at all until about a month later when they were all settled in. Then the racket began.

While I am on the subject, anyone know what is the best spring and drop rate to go with so I can get that uniform drop with no gap in the wheel well look? Thanks for any help!
