Default Help with squeaking noise

I installed a LT-1 prokit on my 2001 ss today. As soon as I left the garage, there were some squeaks while going over bumps and on turns. Is this just the new springs settleing or is it just from so many things being undone and getting back into place, ie (shocks, spindles, etc.). Any information is appreciated. By the way the stance is great.

TTT. Still trying to figure out what can make these little squaks and rattles go away. Is the problem that I am using stock shocks. It also is most noticable at low speeds. Any info at all is appreciated.

Well you would want to ditch the stock shocks for some revalved bilsteins or some konis first. Did you install anything else besides springs?

No nothing else. I just did the springs because I had a set in my garage that had never been used. I will be ordering shocks very shortly. I put the springs on first just to make sure that I liked the stance before I spent alot on shocks.
