Help, spring nose in rear shock towers

Bought the car with koni's on it, switch to tokico to soften the ride abit. Was hoping it would also help with the spring noise. It did not.

During normal drive, springs are quiet, but if you hit a bump or are driving through a bumpy parking lot, it squeeks on compression of the spring.

Any help appreciated.

Its probably your sway bar mounts... if they are upgraded, the urathane bushings squeak like a ****. Grease 'em w/ cv-joint grease.

Squeek is either a lower speeds or big bumps on higher speed.

Bump.

I replaced my rear shocks with tokico adjustable. Should I have replaced springs or anything else?
