Default Some creaking / moaning noises with new Eibach springs

Just had Eibach Pro-Kit springs installed a week ago on my A6 and have noticed sort of some creaking or moaning noises as the suspension flexes (which I didn't have before with my stock suspension).

Is this a condition that some of you have experienced that have lowered your cars? Is there a "settling in" period when you install new springs or suspension components? Hoping this is something that will go away but am planning to take the car back to my installer to have them drive and check out.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I thought I read something about the rubber mounts at the end...something like not tightened or tightened too much or out installed top down intend of top top. Do a search I'm sure it will show up n also post some pics please

Yeah - it happens when the upper rubber mounts get wet. Basically, the mounts are too big now that the car has been lowered. A part of them have to be cut off - my mechanic, raised the car and then was able to access the rubber mounts on the rear wheels since there was no load on them - just a normal utility knife worked.
