Tein SS on 01 Civc: Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I've had the Tein SS on my 01 civic for about 1 month and a half. It was working wonderfully, good ride quality, etc.. but yesterday for no reason, my two rear coilovers started sqeaking uncontrollably, Im pretty sure the squeaking is coming from the coilovers but i dont know how. The sqeaking can be heard outside and inside the car. Has this happened to anyone? if so, how did you solve the annoying problem?
thanks

u got a camber kit?
have you checked inside the trunk, where it bolts in?, check if its loose !
also check the bottom perch and see if theres any cracks.

IDQcivic should not be trusted
I had this really bad squeak one night, like i barely touched my car and it squeaked!! I was like WTF??? but then the next day it was fine and hasn't done it since.... I would just check to make sure everything is OK, maybe spray some lube up by the springs and stuff...
