eibach pro kit noise

Just got my Eibach pro kit installed two weeks ago, I got this annoying squeak coming from front, whenever i go over a small hump in the road....low speed, The noise it makes is louder in the morning or when the car is cooled off. It will make the noise just rolling through a parking lot with a few bumps in it and driving about 15 to 20mph. Does anyone know if the springs in the front can make noise in the spring cups? Sometimes it sounds like it is coming from the rear, then other times it seems like the front and rear. I went to the shop where i got em installed, they said that its a pretty common issue springs should settle and eventually will go away , or could be the bushings..
Any clues anyone?
Thanks in advance for the responses.

The springs may net be settled properly on the bushings. I had the same problem when I installed mine in the back yard. Plus mine had rattling and squeeking.

I brought it to a shop and thats what the mechanic told me.

hmmm I've never heard that before...I don't think it's a common issue like the guy told you but it should go away as they settle...if not just take it back and ask them to look at the seating and bushings on the springs

The springs are the seated properly. Jack up the car or lift it up to take the load off, then set it back down. I had the same issue.

The upper and lower control arms should be loosened at the inner pivot points, lower the car on it's own weight.
Then retighten the control arms.
