The V6 section is pretty pathetic (apart from a few people) when it comes to actual technical problems, but can go on all day about CAI's and exhaust.

When you lowered it, did you put the isolators in with the springs?

It could be a shock or dry bushings or as Xemeth was saying about the isolators.

my guess would be the bushings because ive got a friend who had the exact same problem and he went and bought new shocks and i helped him put them on and it still did it. it still squeeks so im not sure what it is for sure but the bushings would be my next guess

Is there a dust cover for your breaks that could be rubbing the spring?

Well guys I changed my shocks last week and it helped cause one shock was shot, and the sqeak went away. but iam still hearing a small squeak. If its the bushings which ones ? the lower& upper control arms? or is it somethingelse And yes I did put the isolaters back on.

Thanks for the replies Peace

I would suggest going to Summit Racing and getting a full prothane bushing kit its only about $150 and it covers everything on your car. Its replaces every rubber bushing on the car and they will last forever because prothane won't rot like the rubber ones do which is probably causing the squeak.
