Default Really squeaky suspension, what can I do to fix it?

I put progress lowering spings on my girls FG2 and right when I installed them it squeaked terribly, but I sprayed WD40 on the tops and bottoms where the spring seats and it stopped, but then the shitty wether came, and so did the squeak, so I tries white lithium grease spray, and that cured it for about a week till it snowed and now its back, and I think the grease moisture gets sucked out by the mag chloride they put on the roads to melt the snow, and I am 99% positive that the noise is the sping and spring isolator rubbing on the strut, and I was wondering if there is any way that you guys have come up with a solution for this, because it sounds awful, and I just want a perminant fix so I dont have to do this all of the time, so if anyone has some ideas please share, thanks.

I was just thinking about maybe having a peice of fabric inbetween the spring/isolator and the strut itselt to prevent friction of the rubber. Not the best thing to do I'm sure, but it cant hurt.

I've seen some installs where the springs did not sit in correctly which caused squeaks. Check to see if the springs are in correctly. I know with Comptech there is a left and right side for the springs.

Thats the thing, I have tripple checked everything, and it is all peachy, its just the rubber is causing friction, but they ride great, I just need them to sound great too lol.
