Tokico/Progress Combination

Hey guys I just did the whole suspension swap with my friend yesterday. It looks great, and the drop is extremly noticible. I will throw up some pics soon. But I have 1 question. The fronts are sweet, they are quiet and ride as well as they are going to, but the rears are very noisy. They "creek" I guess I would say, even when i'm moving below 5 mph. Does anyone have any advise for me and/or suggestions on what I can do to make them as quiet as the fronts. thanks..

yo its ok,
I don't notice that they are too soft at all. They seem stiff enough, its only this creaking noise is what i'm noticing. Are u saying these springs are unsafe to have on my car. The roads around me aren't bad at all. I live in central nj, but of course there is the occasional bump or two. I love the springs but I really don't feel like dealing with a return or anything. Progress says they are fine for the 5th gen, so why would they market something that isn't right?

A friend and I did the instal. He is very knowlagable about cars considering his father and him are rebuilding a 68' camaro from basic scratch. They fit pretty well on the stand at the bottom on the rears and the fronts fit together fine. I really don't care about ride quality that much, I just want to make sure they are safe and won't fall off. I go pretty soon to get the alignent done
