I have a polo 9n3 tdi lowered on 50mm springs...i know sh*it ride but oh well...

I also have powerflex bushes around the wishbones

The problem is when im going around bumps or humps i hear a squeaky creaking noise coming from all over the car...
it drives me mad! i have nooo idea what it could be
i was wondering if anyone else here has the same problem?

Offtopic question (sorry!!), but are your 50mm springs on standard shocks?
