Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Because you f*cked up your steering bearings. Swapping the springs doesn't unf*ck the bearings.

What my esteemed colleague is trying to say is, you've damaged the steering rack by lowering the car, thats what creaks. so Simply raising the car back up doesnt un-do that damage. So your still going to get that creak.

Did you inspect the strut bearings? Could be like mentioned above that their bad. Other possiblities are the spring isnt seated correctly or the 3 strut bolts on top arent torqued enough.
