comptechs- now they sqeak! WTF?

Ever since my comptech sports have been installed, (a few weeks now) the front driver's side make a constant squeaking, noticeable especially with windows down, radio off, and on a narrow road where the car's sound is reflected back. I only notice it at lower speeds, like in the parking area at work, and it sounds like I'm driving around in a POS. At high speeds the sound is masked by wind, but with windows up I can still hear it. Could this be the rubber bushing the spring mates to, or something else? I don't think the spring itself makes this noise. Secondly, what would you recommend I do about it? I'm pretty convinced the "performance/tint" shop who installed them doesn't have a clue... We took it for a ride and the installer said it was normal to sound like that. Should I take it to a suspension place and have them tear it down? I'm pretty pissed, I like the drop but not the sound!

Maybe they didnt seat the springs in the right way. Also did he put the rubber sleeves on them. If they didnt sit all the way in they will eventually.

Check to see where the rubber slips are. Chances are that they are not sitting where the spring rings are touching causing them to squeak when they rub.
