I am not a sifu but will try to help.
Open up your hood and write down the chassis number.
This will determine whether your car is using the McPherson strut type suspension or SuperStrut type.
Rear absorbers cost the same for both types unless u decide on purchasing the TRD version.
Front absorbers should cost around RM1k each for the McPherson type. Expect to pay double if u r using the superstrut type.
Good news is, the superstrut type is a rare version. It is more likely that u'll have the McPherson type.

If u r lucky, maybe its just the absorber bushing or the ball joints that are worn out. Good luck.

what type of noise are you getting?? are you using lowering springs?? some of this springs will cause some creaking.... adding a thin rubber bush between your spring and mount may help...

superstrut front absorbers are RM900 per piece....

if you wanna go fully adjustable.... get Tein..... normal struts is about RM4k... superstrut is RM8k...

Em... i think not cause by the spring problem because before this never have this sound and the sound like kok kok kok when drive on un-even road and sorry for didnt mention my suspension type mine is normal structs ok thanks for the suggesion and feedback.. beside tein any other after market brand ?? and how about D2 adjustable with soft hard setting???

Its either ur springs are creaking or the absorber shaft is jamming up (due to water going in...maybe?)

Hope this helps
