Default Suspension problem bad noise

I have a 94 GSR with lowering springs ( not sure what type but they are blue). The car had stock struts so i purchased the Eibach pro dampers. I installed the 2 rear ones following the directions that came with them. When i went for a test drive i can hear creeking noises coming from both struts. When the car is stationary and you push on the back it is extremely firm and also sometimes will make the creeking noise. Also when you put the car up on a jack the wheels will rise up with the car for awhile as if they were stuck, then they will break free and sag down like they are supposed to. Any suggestions? thanks.

hmm iono but i'll throw in a guess since there isn't anyone...did you try putting back on the stock springs? if you did, did you still have the same problem?

Sounds to me your shocks might be blown.

idk about that. cause i just installed 4 brand new tokico blues, and my left front makes a noise when you push down on it. i'm thinking its my bushings up front. my stock shocks were blown for idk how long on dropzone springs. so i think that the bushings were used to having no pressure hardly put on them. when i put new shocks on, i think thats what "woke" the bushing up and now them being worn is very noticeable.

fixed the noise. All i had to do was loosen the 3 bolts (lca to rotor, lca to strut, and lca to sway bar) then jack the lca up until the car lifted off the jack stands and re-torque everything down to specs. DONE.
