Wiggle the exhaust pipe to hear if it squeaks.

may be your tires touching the shock body due to lowering.. or even the tires touching your guards.

Otheriwise it could be the springs touching if thier are progressive.. though thats more a clapping sound

squeaking noise from the wheels?? I doubt it very much unless the dust guard is touching the rotor, wheels turn suspension goes up and down, you lowered your car so I would suspect roll bar bushes

find the squeaking first then wory about fixin it. take a can of WD-40 and spray one thing at a time then drive it in the manner nessisary to reproduece the sound. It the sound stops. chanses are you've sprayed the right thing. then you know what to fix.

Jack your car up and place jackstands under. Get a 2x4 and lift and lower your rear wheel... you should be able to identify what is squeaking. Thats what I did. It definately could be your control arms... thats what I'd bet on.
