Default Suspension creaking

I've noticed just recently Im getting creaking from the suspension. Unsure if its the coilovers needing some lube or a dud mount or two. Anyone else suffered this and rectified it?

Is this in the dry? I know I get creaking when it's wet, I put it down to D mounts like Ross said.

Thanks Strubaru I'll give that a crack.

Yeah In the dry, with the wet weather, no problems at all, having said that I can't compare back to back as yet, but the sound is consistent.

I just had my dms coil overs put in and they squeak a heap, sounds like the boot is loose or something whenever I go over a bump, have anti-lift kit aswell but i also had that before the coilovers, I am told its just cause the whack angles that you need the coilovers to go in with a subaru so they rub on themselves a little, nothing to worry about.
