Default just installed springs, one lil problem

my gf just got a suspension (neuspeed springs/stock shocks) installed in her 04 RSX non-type S, we drove it around a few miles and all is alright until you turn the wheel, into a turn, coming out of a turn, turning from a complete stop, etc. we hear a sort of creaking noise coming from the springs, sounds more from the passenger side, is this normal? does this go away soon? i know the springs are supposed to settle after a few days, but is this normal?

sorry but i would not know, i drive a VW GTI and when i lowered my car it was installed wrong and had the same problems, so i wouldnt know if hers are installed correctly or if incorrectly

TIA

springs take alot longer then a few days to settle fully, but no they should not making a sound that was not there before they were installed.

the sound may be unrelated, but new suspension should not creak
