did you remove the stock spring covers that wrap around the coil and put them on the new springs? Did the new springs come with new covers for the coils? Sometimes the coils can be too close and squeak when they touch.

Check the outsides of the springs in front where the springs sit in the perch.
Therre is a little lip that sticks up on the outside of the strut.Some peolle have had problems with the coil rubbing in this spot.
