Sounds like your springs are rubbing against the top hats making that noise. Spray some grease in there.

Very common problem bro. The spring are trying to settle. One may be a little off, just add some grease and you should be fine.

1)No its not, just grease them up.
2)Depends on the tech, they "should" be able to tell just looking at the bolts.

My Q to you is, why are you worried for the dealer to know?

because if they know my car was lowered before, then they'll have excuses not to fix it under warranty....
