Default Squeaking noises.....

So I recently installed my Espelirs ASD Springs and noticed that the rear passenger side makes noises (similar to bed squeaking). I'm not sure what it exactly is. Anyone have a clue? Its really annoying
I hope someone can help me out.

Are the springs properly seated in the groove. There's also supposed to be a rubber liner in the bottom perch.

When I lowered my car I started to notice a noise that sounds exactly the same.... I re-torqued everything 3 times... looked at everything 3 times.... did not find sheit....

just last night I discovered that it was the canvas top rubbing against the molding near the trunk.... whenever I pushed it to tighten the canvas, it would stop squeaking.... try it out.

So its possible that the rear shocks are what is making that noise? Because I didn't use those shocks for a good year and a half, since I used to be on coilovers. Well, I'm going to take that crap apart this weekend to find out what the deal is. Thanks for the input guys.
