Squeaking when driving.... HELP

I'm lowered with GF210's. It's been lowered for about a year with no problems. I recently notice a constant squeaking noise when I drive. When I turn right there is no noise. It's not when I step on the brakes. The noise is coming from the left side (maybe front).

If i take my car to the dealership, I think they will say that b/c I lowered the car that voids the warranty. I need to find someone to put the stock springs back on. then take it to the dealer.

any other suggestions?

OH BTW its a 2007 Auto

sounds like brakes, no? dealer should give you no crap about your springs
if they are your brakes. take it in for inspection first and see wat they
say.

Squeak + oil = Silence

Luichenwai,
Before you go through the process of changing out the springs, first try shooting the coils with a spray on lube of some type. I had a similar symptom that immediately went away after using this simple fix. Give it a quick shot, it won't hurt to try.

Any type of Lube at the Auto store?
Any suggestions on which kind? And where do I actually apply it?

Oil the Coil...

Luichenwai,
I think the noise was generated from the rubbing of the coils against each another. I tried to shoot the spaces wherever the coils make contact. I just used a silicone based spray. Kenchan's suggestion sounds like a better choice.

I will try it now. I went to the mechanic and he says its no big deal. The round piece behind the rotor was "rubbing" I will try the lube and push that round piece back.
