Default lowered eibach suspension groans when I turn or hit a bump

I recently bought an '08 GT with Eibach lowering springs. Worked fine for about a month and then after driving through a hard rain all day, the suspension started groaning when I turned or went over a bump. Sounds like a dry rubber mount in the shock tower. Any ideas on what might be causing it and how to fix it?

Thanks for any help.

The upper strut mount is blown if it was reused from the original stock suspension setup. You can either but the stock mounts agian(wouldnt recomend this) the GT500 mounts that are supposed to be about 30% stiffer than stock and the Steeda has a pair that can even be used to adjust camber that would probably be the best.

Are you still on the stock shocks?

Hi DRock, thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I still have the stock struts. I think I'm hearing it in the rear too but maybe it's my imagination.

Are there any other suspension modifications that use stiffer bushings? LCAs?
