Tein S-tech springs
I just installed these this weekend with the help of some friends and their very helpful tools. I can't really tell if it looks lower yet. I am however noticing some occaisional poping or clicking now during turning, but not all the time. Is this something normal while the springs are settling in? All the bolts are tight. The noise is coming from the front left. I took the wheel back off today to check all the bolts again and they are all very snug. The bolt that connects through the end link (i think thats what it is called) is snug but there is the other side of that bolt that is connected to some rubber thing. Could something be wrong there? It could just be paranoid. I've been driving with the music off since i put them in listening for sounds. It could be rocks or something. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
The s techs dont lower the car very much so it couldn't be any kind of rubbing right?

The clicking and poping noise should stop after a week or so.
I had the same thing happen when I put my tanabe's on and it drove me mad for a while. I thought that my wheels were gonna fall off.
I even took the car to my dealership and had it aligned and had them check out the springs and any rubbing issues.
What helps is just to drive the car and take some tight corners.
It will settle in faster.

MAN!. YOu have no idea how relieved that makes me. I've been worried about it all week. Hadn't driven it at all. I took the wheels on and off a couple times just to double check all the bolts and everything was tight. I'll drive it some this weekend and see how it is. Thanks!

Don't do any hard bumps. You don't want to bottom out the car.
Later.

BTW:
In another thread, Losing Grip II, was having the same trouble with coilovers and fixed it by greasing them. That might help also.
