how many miles has the car done? Have you got the bearings in between the topmount and spring?

Edit, re-read your post, it may be creaking due to the stiffer suspension is showing the weakness/degrading in the bushes hence the creaking. Have a look at the wishbone bushes and the rear arm bushes

I've got a creak from the front O/S since changing my suspension too. I had new top-mounts fitted as well, so it can't be those. I didn't change the bearings though, so could be those, although didn't think a bearing would creak.

Mine is only at low speeds (ie in traffic) and although annoying, if the radio is on I can't generally hear it.
