sounds like something is rubbing. did you check the piston on the struys/ shocks? are they clean and free of blemishes? how about the boot over the strut? was that installed properly? just a start

I had the Sportlines on my car for a year and never had that problem. I'd think it's something else did you remove the rubber isolators that go on top of the springs in the rear?
Oh and I just swapped them for Strano's!
I loved the killer stance Sportlines gave my car!

The springs, themselves, don't "moan". What you're hearing is something else that is now trying to "re-adjust" itself to the lower car height, due to the installation of the springs. Did you loosen ALL of the a-arm bolts in front, and LCA bolts in the rear, and the PHB bolts, and let the car "settle" after you installed the springs?
If not, the "moaning" you're hearing is most likely caused by those bushings trying to turn and get re-positioned. Also, it could be from the sway bar bushings, especially if the OE rubber bushings are still in place, as they too, have to get re-positioned, due to the lower ride height.
