85 se new RB suspension kit/ creaking noises??

Hi,
I put a complete suspension kit and bushing kit from racing beat. Plus a full exhaust. Car didnt make any suspension noises before but now, it creaks anytime the car is loaded or unloaded. Cant tell if its the springs or the bushings or the new front and rear sway kit from racing beat as well.
Did i miss something?
Thank you for any and all help!

Did you lube the poly bushings when installing? They need to be lube with poly bushing lube
real good to keep them quiet. Is everything snugged up correctly? You may have some loose
sway bar links or other gremlins.

I've heard of creaking away bars before, but like tg said, it's more likely the bushings.
