Weird noise from the rear springs

Hello, since installing my Tein S-Tech's and Progress RSB, there has been a weird creaking noise. I removed the RSB, thinking it was the hardware, but the noise is still there. I even replaced the rear springs w/ the stock ones, but still the same noise. Anyone have some insight on this? Its worst at about 10-20 mph over bumps. Thanks in advance!

Are you sure you retightened the nuts and bolts properly? Namely, the struts.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I retightened the bolts on the lower end of each strut. Maybe check the top nuts to make sure they are tight? I haven't touched them tho....
