Spacer question... maybe bushings.

Guys, I lowered my car, with OBX springs and it makes a lot of freaking noise. I posted a question up before and I didn't get the answers I needed to help me. I was thinking of getting aftermarket bushings, do you think it'll help? Only reason I'm asking is because I won't be able to take much more of the squeeking. Is it a spacer problem or bushing problem? If it's either or, can you tell me EXACTLY which bushing or spacer I may need to purchase? Thanks again.

bushing's going to help you handle little bit better but they will not make your noises go away..

the exact way of lowering a car is when you lower your car, you loosen up all the bolts and joints underneath the car and retighten them afterwards.. this is because once you lower your car, your suspension geometry changes(the car is sitting lower but the bushings and joints are sitting at wrong angle..causing more wear and tear)...but people generally don't do this cuz it's expensive..another $150-$200 depending on shops to do this.

anywayz...when you do stuff to your car, noise will become part of your daily drives...yeah, it sucks i know...

Solution

So what is the solution if there is any? I'd pay an extra $200 to stop that noise...but then again I'm a squeak freak that would **** me off.
