Still doing it mate?

Coilovers (especially new ones) generally make quite a lot noise in comparison to standard suspension.

Like Tim said they can be noisy at times, Try greasing the threads and maybe adjust the height a little.
Mine creak occasionally although I must admit its normally when the car is stationary.

Mine creak too, but only when stationary when I'm turning the wheel. I panic sometimes, but always get reassured that 'that's normal, Emma' lol

lol aye its normal so dont worry about it, your always going to get it with coilovers. Even my standard shocks & springs were creaky, especially when parking.
