Ok, so today i just had my S. Tech springs installed. The ride height is great but i think that i may have blown struts. When i turn my stering wheel either right or left whether parked or driving the springs move and make an awful poping noise. I had the springs installed by a trusted performance shop so im pretty sure that they were installed correctly. I had my car aligned today but when im driving and i make either right or left turns the spring tweaks and **cks the alignment up. ive searched and read many postings on blown struts but im not sure how to really make sure that the struts are the problem. I noticed that when the car was lifted that i could turn the front springs quite a bit (right and left). when i turn the wheel when parked i could see the springs moving and im sure that they are whats making the weird poping noises. i didnt have this problem before i put the springs on. Please help if you may have answers or suggestions to this problem.

Background info
2001 civic coupe 18 wheels with 215-40-18
Im positive the springs are the right model number.

Search the site for popping noise or just noise, in the suspension forum. Many people have this problem. It is usually caused by the springs rubbing against each other and can be solved by coil wrap. you will have leakage from your shock and your ride would be hella bouncy if you blew them. Please search the site.

Problem solved. SPrings rubbing were not the problem. the top bearings were not turning properly. Greased area atfer taking supension apart and solved the problem.

The ride is pretty tight but the drop is a little bit lower then i expected.
Im running 215-40-18's and there is barely enought clearence. the ride is cool when im by myself but once i have a few friends in the car theres definetly some rubbing happening. mostly when i go over bumps.
