Either way, aftermarket lowering springs are stiffer and will produce some noise regardless. You can put your car on a lift to unload the springs then install the silencers. If they're gone, just use any durable material (I suggest rubber) to keep the tightly wound coils from contacting.

those wraps are there to prevent chattering, but not creaking (per thread title). and i have no such noise from my cars that run lowering springs (swifts and eibachs).
with the roll centers off, other bits on the car will wear out faster. it's just part of the game.
