My right rear squeaks, but if I use the loud pedal I don't hear it. My personal opinion is that you should expect some additional NVH when you go to an aftermarket coilover system, and as long as things are doing their job correctly there isn't an issue.

For noise from the front though, definitely pull the wheel off and inspect for the endlink hitting the inside wall or the sway bar grinding on the control arm - these are real issues you will want to fix. Next, you could try swapping top hats left to right to see if the noise is coming from there (depending on your top hats this may negatively impact your alignment, but is OK to do on a short term basis to help diagnose the issue). Lastly, get some Torrington bearings for the springs. One per spring should be enough, although some people like to use two per spring. These allow the springs to twist as they compress/relax which is what the spring naturally wants to do.
