Default re: Creaking on 1st gear

I've been getting this annoying creaking noise from my left spring (I hope) when I take off on 1st gear. I have Tein basic coilover for about close to a year and the noise started recently. Do you think it might be the springs or the perch it's sitting on? Since I can't take it to the HOnda dealer and I'm not too good with cars I might have to take it to the mechanic.
