Im gettin this awful noise from the rear suspension

hey guys im getting a constant sqeeking noise from the rear of the car. and sometimes when i pull into my driveway at an angle or reverse onto the driveway i get a LOUD snapping or popping noise, umm its hard to explain, i'm assuming the spring is shifting when one side is compressed and the other isn't, and when they level out the spring is snapping into place????? does that make sense??? there cheap adjustable springs that were on the car when i bought it. any help would be great!! thanks

naw... it's your cheap coilovers. check the spring seat... sounds like the spring slid off the seat. I'd recommend a full R&R on the rear. Even better, if you could pick up some decent used springs or something, scrap those coilovers.
