Default Creaking noise

I just recently had my tein s tech lowering springs installed on my car from someone and when I turn left, there are moments were there is this creaking noise. Is that normal?

My S-Techs creaked too, but only when I got out of the car, and it was generally only when it was cold out. If it's for sure "creaking", you're fine, it's normal. If the spring was turning, that would be associated with different noises. I think S-Techs just creak.

Okay thank you for the reassurance. Should I go in for a tire alignment? I made an appointment for next week in case? maybe they can find something? Cos I didn't lower the car, someone else did. And no idea of how to lower a car lol so i wouldn't know if anything is okay.
