Coilover noise

hey guys just got some H&R coilovers installed in my car, and i love it, but is there anyway to eliminate some of the noise without slightly raising the car?

Can you make the same noise by pushing down on the squeaky corner?

sometimes, i notice it alot more in the rear than anywhere else, even when i just bounce the rear up and down, but recently im starting to hear it in the front, I called Danny from MiniCorsa where i got it installed, he says its probably the spring moving around, and i could raise it a little to get rid of some noise. But I love the look right now, and i eventually want to go lower(when i get a skid pad) so i was looking for an alternative to get rid of the noise.
