Default Noise after lowering springs installed

I just bought and installed RS-R lowering springs for my 2016 LEXUS NX200T. When the car is park and I move the steering wheel to the right or left I heard a noise. what could it be?
Thank you!!!

Hard to describe.. it's not a metal sound, that's for sure. It's more like squeezing noise

I have had 3 lowered vehicles as recent as a 2015 C300. With the car parked on the side of your suspect spring, push/rock the car up and down. Do you hear the springs making unusual noice? Turning the steering whee may meand it may be rubbing against something but prob not from springs not seated or fitted properly.

Not unusual noise coming from the springs only when I turned the steering wheel
