i installed my springs myself.
and now my front strut mount bearings are gone (clunking sound when turning at slow speeds or stopped)
and my rear springs clunk (for some reason the springs are hitting each themselves....)

leave it to the pros. then u have some one to blame:D

well,

the strut mount bearings are a only making that clunking sounds because lowering your car puts extra stress on them.

and the rear springs? who knows. i think it may be a spring defect... but meh.

My car is lowered (done myself) and doesn't make any odd noises and rides just fine (Eibach prokit) Ifollowed the instructions,torqued everything properly and used loc-tite.
