I was thinking of lubing up the bottom of the springs where it meets with the shock. Maybe that'll work?

Could it be the rubber grommets? Also did the springs you have come with a rubber wrapping around the end of the spring? If you look at this picture you will see that I wrapped the coils with the stock one and held it with a zip tie while I used the spring compressors.

Not saying that's your issue just another think to check out. I would think if the spring is rubbing against itself you are going to hear it.

The Teins already come with their version of the rubber already attached. I had mine installed by z1 and I have no squeaks.
