Bout had my setup for about a year. The rear coilovers started making a squeeking noise when the car is rolling. I can also duplicate the problem by pushing down on my bumper but the squeek will go away after about 2 or 3 times pushing down. My dad suggested WD40 on my bushings see if that does anything. I did notice when it rains it does not make the noise. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Wheel bearings have been known to make the squeak as well. My truck did that too, I took it to a mechanic and he said that the wheel bearing wasn't packed well enough. You might want to try that as a possible option as well.

I don't think the wheel bearings squeak when compresses at the bumper.

It's probably your coilovers. Mine squeak all the time, but it's the least of my worries. WD-40 might help, but you can also get a rubber hose that goes over the spring. It's essentially a bushing that stops it from squeaking.
