Default suspension squeaks?

ive just fitted a set of KYB AGX shocks and eibach pro springs. since fitting them, when i go over an uneven road or road bumps with a bit of speed (20mph+) they make a sort of squeaking noise? does that make sense to anyone? any idea's? never used to happen with the original shocks and springs, only when i changed them. i think the noise is coming from the fronts.

Could be the top and bottom coils of the springs rubbing together, spray some wd40 on the top and bottom coils to see if it goes away, std springs have rubber between the coils.

It would indeed, that's the idea. If the noise went away then you would know it's the coils rubbing and you would need to wrap the first coil
