Default suspension problems

hey guys, my gf has a 2004 RSX non type s, she jus lowered it on neuspeed springs, with stock shocks, we plan on getting upgraded shocks soon, any suggestions? im thinking, tokico, blistein, and koni...but the problems are: im thinking her springs creak when you turn the wheel for anything, im guessing the stock shocks are really giving out and are compressing the springs together? but they made that sound even when we pulled it fresh out of the garage. what other things are we suppose to replace? struts, bolts, etc.? anything with the strut towers?

TIA

Dogg, I'm going to tell you what everyone else on this site told me: Get the Koni Yellows.

No one else has suggested any other shocks on this site and I've asked acouple of times already.

...dam that was long, but thanks allot, made things more clear, so in conclusion it came down to, the struts being bad, silencer tubes (optional? correct me if im wrong) then bending the spring seats which so far seems to solve the problem.
