mine used to squeek and make funky noises when i had neuspeed springs with just stock shocks. after i installed the koni yellows there is no more'squeeking' noise, just the occasional clunking noise which is normal if you don't have your springs wrapped.

my lowering springs (neuspeed) squeeked. I finally figured out it was loose in the spring isolater up top. I put some black wire loom on the top/bottom and taped it up ... no more squeek! That was 4 years ago almost now. PS: that is using tokiko NA blues.

get some kyb's and either springs or coilovers...most of these guys on here think coilovers are bad...but i'll tell you they aren't so bad...i have mine set up almost all the way and with my kyb agx shocks, they work wonders...the ride is still somewhat sporty with a decently lowered look, and i can drop it down and make the shocks stiffer for autoX whenever i want...it's a good adjustable way of making your car behave differently by easy adjustments...that's just my .02...do what you want though...
