It's probably the bushings that are squeaking. After I lowered my car the sound became very pronounced.

I agree, most of the time is a bad bushings, ball joint, or tie rod. If the springs is the cause then it is likely to have a broken coil.

my car squeaks too. i thought it was the struts on my car because i was run n stock struts on neuspeed race springs. so i replaced the struts with bilstein struts but it still squeaks a little bit, but not too much. Bad bushings wont cause too much problems right? do i need to replace them?

Bad bushings can cause vibration & noise, should be replaced. If it's a ball joint or tie rod that should be replaced ASAP.
