Are the spring wraps still on the coils?

I would double check everything personally, not take it to that shop...Try and spray all the bolt joints with some lubricant. Also check the 3 nuts on the engine bay side that hold each suspension tower (located underneath the aluminum covers). Since you said it squeaks over small reflectors on the road, that sounds like some loose bolts. A spring or shock would need more than that to squeak. Could also be your sway bar links not being tight. Another thing that could squeak is the rubber bushing/mount. In that case you'd have to either spray some wd in there somehow, or take the towers out again to do that. There should definitely be 0 noise no matter what bump. At least that's how it is with RS-R coilovers which would be more likely to do this than just springs. And are you sure it's coming from the front? Because if it's the rear, then it could be the rubber cups the springs sit on.

The mechanic is bs.i just installed my rsr super down spring on my own and there is no noise at all. I would definitely double check everything yourself to be on the safe side

Was it installed at the dealer? Did your installer torque the bolts to the right settings? I installed mine and have no squeeks.
