Default Creaking?

I noticed this before I lowered my car so it has nothing to do with me lowering the car.

Some times I hear a creaking coming from the rear of my car.....I'm pretty sure it's suspension related. I only hear it some times. I haven't heard it when driving but rather when my car is sitting still and I get in or out (I'm not super heavy either).

WTF is going on?

did u upgrade to lowered springs without changing dampers? or did you cut the springs? most likely you've done either of these two and it means that you oem dampers are gone! if you want to lower you car more than 1.5" you should really change the shocks as well...

I'm on Neuspeed Race Springs, I don't believe in the cheap way out.

My shocks aren't blown yet actually. I was told it might be the bushings or hat mounts on the shocks. What you think?

I was on Neuspeed drop springs and they used to squeak all the time so maybe that is inherent with Neuspeed's.
