Default help with squeeking noise (audio included)

So i recently got these S techs installed, 2 weeks. Whenever I drive slowly I hear squeeking noises. Its obviously the back or the front of the car. especially when I go over speed bumps or alleys that are not flat. At normal speed my car drives nicely and fine. The shop I go to checked when I got my alignment and said everything was fine. I can't visibly see anything. But if you hear the audio from the clip i recorded,within the first few seconds u can hear a lot of it around 16 to 19 seconds as I go over a speed bump.

thanks for your help. http://youtube.com/watch?v=V5B_Qw8UmPM

IMO the spring/s aren't fitted properly. Or you forgot to put a plastic hose (about 5inches long) at the spring's end??

i didnt install them myselves. I took them to a respectable JDM ricer US branch of a japanese company. I had H techs on first but wasnt too happy with them so swapped them for S techs. When i went back to get my alignment they said everthing is okay. At the same time my S techs seem to be higher than most people's S techs... or maybe its just my wheels...

you can bring the car back and ask them to fit it properly.
There are some article about suspensions here in HT, check in the FAQ please.
