I have a 2nd gen but the suspension is very similar, so I'll share my experience.
I changed my springs and struts, but kept the stock strut mounts and the rubber part that sits between the spring and the perch (top mount).
I get that creaking sound ONLY from the rear right. I tried reseating the spring, and that solved the problem for a day. Then it started creaking again. I don't have a sway bar... or anything like that, so it's not "clunking". It's definitely creaking, and I will buy new strut mounts as soon as I have the cash. I'll post here to report whether they fixed the problem.
