Default Help, creaking springs

Yes, my friend has a '96 accord and installed coilovers. It's been on for about three months now and it's starting to make creaking noises. We have no idea if it's the springs, or maybe the shocks. I think it's the shocks but it doesn't sound like 'em. Everytime we hit a bump or make a sharp turn it creaks. Please can someone tell me if his shocks are bad, or something else? TIA

Remember all those washers, flanges, bushings, and nut at the top of the shock? If you don't reinstall them in the exact same order (yes, some people actually just lay the pieces down out of order and forget what order they went in and have no manual) you'll get creaking noises right away or even after a while.
Could be A LOT of other things too.
