Default Front end creaking

Recently replaced stock c5 front and rear leafs with factory Z06 springs. All went as expected with no issues on swap out. Now, getting a front end creaking which I believe is coming from the springs? Any suggestions on trouble shooting to eliminate the unwanted noise?

I'll double check to make sure the pads are in place, good point! Thought they were but now second guessing. I'm not 100% sure its the springs making the noise. Only reason for that connection because the noise started immediately following the replacement of the springs!

I had a squeak in the front end, took 8VETTE7 advice and used the Teflon tape trick. It was an easy fix to a problem I had been chasing for weeks.
