Usually squeeking is from worn bushings. If your car has been lowered, then I would guess the culprit is the main trailing arm bushing. These are forced into a twist at all times when civics/tegs/del sols are lowered. This causes them to wear out prematurly. If you do end up having to replace them, I suggest getting the new ones clocked the proper about to relieve the twist once the car is on the ground. Then you should enjoy tens of thousands of miles of squeek free operation...

I have tokico illumina.....rear passenger side is blown and when I shake it hard it squeaks so your shocks can be blow. take off your wheel and check to see if there is a lot of oil on your shock.
