i have the same suspension on the same car. I removed the rubber isolators between the coil and the top/bottom of the coil on all 4. I also removed the shaft boots because all they did was collect dirt in them and made my first set blow the seals from the dirt that just filled up in the boots. Just remove them and the isolators and you will notice the difference it makes. Adds a bit of stiffness to them because the rubber isolators are really soft. What happens is that when you go around the corner and put pressure on it the isolator is getting squashed and is squeaking on the metal metal surfaces of the spring and top plate. If you do not want to remove them, you will need to take them apart and grease these surfaces.
