Default Squeaky front noises-Gixxer Drew guys come help

I have some squeaking noises from my suspension. I have the Gixxer Drew Bilstein/Hypercoil coilover combo. I believe the noises is coming from the top-hat.
Anyone with this type of suspension setup and noises>

Why do you think it's the tophat?

I rocked the car back and forth and heard the noises from the strut tower mounting point.

I have the same spring rates as you, did you use the Bilstein coilover sleeve setup? What do you think of the ride?
Weirdly enough, the noises seem to be coming only from the front

Yea, but I used the cheap version. I like the handling a lot. I just need some sways to fine tune the front to rear bias.

Actually it took about 6 months for the noise to appear. When I first installed it it was cold out, when it got really hot that when I noticed it. its a bit like old creaky bed springs
