call eibach just to be sure, but I have installed some springs and coilovers that do make some noise while going over rough roads initally but the noise soon dissapeared, not sure what the clunking noise while turning could be

Jack up your car on the side its clunking...front right, left, whatever...look at your spring...the big red coily thing and see if the plastic sleve is on it...if it is twist it so it goes up more...then it should go away...all it is, is your spring is rubbing and it makes a horrible sound...just slide the sleve until the sound is gone. If that doesnt fix it, they could be installed wrong, or you shock is blown.

when i raised it up and turned the wheels back and forth it didn't make that "clunkin" noise, but i dropped it back down it started makin that noise.even when i'm on smooth or rough roads it makes that noise, only while turnin. i guessin it's the strut that rubbin on the metal(that's wut my auto teacher said). overall springs give a nice smooth ride and doesn't bottom out,its juz the clunkin noise that's botherin me.
