Default Suspension help

I just started noticing a problem with my rear suspension on my si. My car when im going over a bump in a parking lot going slow or turning a bit the rear end is really squeaky. Springs or shocks? My set-up is all stock now for suspension. Whatever it is i know i have to do some work to my suspension. I've already been considering lowering my car, so since something is wrong now i might as well go ahead and invest in some springs and shocks. I'm thinking maybe going eibach sportline or prokit, but my only problem is when winter rolls aroung i want to have my stock 15" si wheels on mounted with the michelin x-ice 185-60-15 tires i already have. Will my car be too low for these tires? I'm concerned my sidewall is too high and may cause trouble. Any advice on this would be awesome! Thanks!

if ur concern with height in certain seasons, consider gettin coilovers. instead of seperate shocks and springs, get a full coilover setup and call it a day. im runnin ksport full coilovers, the ride is great and is damping and height adjustable.

Coilovers are above the price range i'm looking to spend. If i can get away with just springs and shocks that are cheaper then i would like to go that route.

I'm not wanting to spend any more than 500 dollars. And most coilovers are more than this.

well for under 500 there isnt much options. lets c, u can go eibach prokit and some tokico blues. that should be about 5 or under. the prokits lowers bout 1.2-1.5 and the tokico blues r non adjustable oem replacements. u can step up to tokico illuminas 5 way adjustable damping. go do a search. u will find alot of info.
