are you sure its your spings?

it could be the rear sway bar bushings, or the spring isolators (rubber piece at the top of the springs) or it could be the LCA bushings. or even your panhard bushings

all of that stuff moves when you rear suspension moves all the stuff listed above also move and the squeeks could be coming from teh rubber bushings and not the springs.

I agree with Dewey... take some spray silicone and hit all of the rear bushings. This solved my problem and is certainly worth a try.

That's what I thought too, springs making noise. Turns out it was my Posi. I put in Mobil 1 gear oil with GM Posi additive and haven't heard a peep since.
