Did you grease the poly bushings? If you just put in the Koni shocks then I doubt that will be your problem. Installing the new parts without greasing them can cause a squeak, that's for sure. So if the noise appeared immediately after the install, then it's most likely associated with changes that were made. To keep things simple, grease everything that hasn't been treated to synthetic grease. If the noise persists, then try creating the problem while someone listens underneath the car (if you can) and identify the source that way.

Good luck.
