As mentioned probably best to get someone in the back and try and pinpoint it (window up & down). Is your rear sway bar stock? Mine started to squeek when turning hard, so had to lube it up.. just another thing to check before you spend 1.5k on coilovers haha

Rear sway bar is stock. Car does have a rear strut brace but i checked that yesterday and seems ok. I think i'll get someone to ride in the back first and give me their opinion.

the creaking noise i had ended up being the exhaust (im just putting it out there

) though yours seems to be more specific to your car turning etc. Im only mentioning it because the noise in mine didnt seem to relate to the exhaust at the time its since been tightened and had no probs.

You are a genius Jessw, i gave the exhaust a wiggle and low and behold it was knocking on one of the mounts. Adjusted it slightly and took it for a spin, no noise

Thanks everyone for their input.
