Default Suspension Squeaks Bad

My 97 Integra is dropped with H&R Sports & KBY AGX w/ a camber kit. About a month ago the front end started squeaking, then got progressively worse. When I come to a stop the whole front end sounds like a worn out mattress.

Yesterday I replaced the upper and lower shock bushings & bump stops (front and back) but the problem still exists.

Has anyone else had a similar problem or know what else I should check?

the bushing thats machine pressed in the upper control arm should be the culprit.

Thanks! I wonder if this is something I can solve with a lubricant or I need to replace them since I found out my rear lower control arm bushing is seized.

I bought some white silicone spray. It worked for a few days and now squeaks again. It's either the upper control arm bushing or the camber kits. Something I'll tackle over the winter.
