Default A few suspension questions.

Hey everyone. I've been driving on tein s techs and stock shocks for a while. Last week I added koni yellows, blox lcas, and an Integra rear sway bar. I got everything on just fine and the car is handling really well. I have a few questions:

1. I hear a squeaky sound coming from the rear when I hit bumps. I think it's the rear left, but I'm not positive. Any idea what this could be?

2. The right side of the car sits lower than the left., particularly in the rear. Is this just my crappyish springs sagging to different heights?

3. I went to get an alignment today at Firestone (going for the lifetime alignment deal) since I was messing with the suspension. They said I need new tie rods to get an alignment. Should I go for OEM honda tie rods, something cheaper?

Thanks in advance for the help!

1, could be worn bushings, ball joints
2, That can happen with springs, make sure the perches on the shock are in the same place.
3.oem or moog.

It's just weird the ball joints/bushing didn't make noise until I added the konis and sway bar.
