Default Squeaky front suspension

Hello everybody, I have a V7 Sti Type Uk with the following mods:

Eibach lowering springs
Whiteline front and rear ARB
Whiteline front and rear ARB drop links
Whiteline roll centre adjust kit
Perrin anti lift kit

In the last few weeks I have noticed when driving slow over speed bumps when the car gets over the speed bump and has landed there is a strange squeaky noise coming from the front suspension. The car has 55,000 miles on the clock and only gets used at the weekend, would this be a spring and damper fault or suspension bushes - the cars feels amazing otherwise!

Many thanks in advance to anyone who takes the trouble to help me out, I have posted a couple of threads here before and the advice has been spot on.

Agree with Dunx - most likely front ARB bushes - I use a spray lithium grease which stops it for about 6 months before needed re-greasing mines squeeking front and back now because I can't be bothered to jack the car up to do it again!
