Default Rear suspension sound squeaky

I don't know whether is the effect of setting my rear shocks to soft damping or the rear swaybar that cause squeaky sound in the rear when car start rolling slowly after i let off the break. Does any1 have any clue? I thought I've tighten the swaybar already.

Any1 experience with these? It's not those high-pitch squeaky "squisk quisk" sound, it's those"tuckkk--tucktuckkkk" sound like something is pulling something. ANything I should aware off?

btw, how can I post pics up here? tried geocities but didn't work.

Also, is it bad that the top bolt of the shocks tighten all the way down? I don't think it has anything to do with the sound won't they?

I've reading a post about those clunking sounds. Some said the spring is settling in, others said that the coils of the spring are hitting each other, is there anywhere to stop it? I've just Lower it down for 1.25" (still looking for a hardware store to buy those grade 10+ bolts for the rear camber before lower it furthermore)

I change the shock setting from 2 -> 4, it's stiffer. The clunk noise reduce dramatically, so I know it's not the matter of tighten the top bolt all the way down. Now, the only concern are:

1/. Coils Hitting each other?
2/. Sound from Sway bar?
3/. New suspension settle in?

btw, it's the TOkico Full Coilover.

Any1 with experience, please help. Thanks
