VWR lowering shocks and struts creaking noise

I have VWR sport lowering shocks and VWR struts on my 2015 GTI Autobahn. New strut mounts were installed when I did the changeover. I drive a lot of bumpy and hilly one lane roads out in the country. I often get a distinct squeaking noise from the front and sometimes the back mostly when driving at speed on hilly “mogul” type stretches. Anyone have a similar experience might know the reason why this is happening and possible fix?

Running the same springs but with Koni adjustables for 3 yrs, no noise. I did have an issue with the oem mounts making noise on slow speed turns, but swapped them for HD ones from 034 and have no noise whatsoever now.

Very interesting. I have been hearing the opposite regarding OEM vs. 034 strut mounts. People say 034 are noisy, and reverting back to OEM gets rid of the noise.
