Help WITH SPRINGS!!! VNLILMAN!!!

I went to install my h&r's yesterday and now when i turn my wheel to the left while going under 5mph it "pops" and yo can hear it, i took my rim off and turned the calipers and it still pops, when i am driving or going over 5 mph it doesnt pop. I took it to spain tire today, because they specialize in that and the guy at the counter told me it is common, it is you "twisting" the spring, i told him to look at it anyways becauase i thought it was a problem with the control arm(maybe not on correctly), i had neuspeeds before and they squeaked but never popped, i can feel it in the steering wheel, it's terrible, whats your suggestions, i need help please, brand new car i cant have problems like this with it, my mom will kill me, i had to fight to get this stuff done, let alone if i screwed it up shell kill me!!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

i think you would get more help if you didn't put my sn on the title. i dont know everything and there are alot of people who know more then i do. with that aside...
i think i get that noise too, its not THAT loud and i cant feel it in my steering wheel. its weird cause the springs shouldnt be twisting, thats why we have those metal *****(you probably didn't see them during the install) that rotate on the top of the strut. i doubt you could see the bottom of the spring when the car isn't jacked up but if you can, try to have someone turn the steering wheel from left to right as you look at it.

before i used to get a rattling noise when i drive on badd roads so i sprayed wd-40 then i started getting the 'poping' noise. its probably cause the spring is lubricated so that it 'twists' more easily...

best bet is to take it to the place you got them installed at...

well i got it back and still the problem, he said it is the spring twisting, maybe i got the top shock bolt too tight because i know it should pivot a little bit, but gi hope it goes away, i got it dropped with my h&r's and now i found out taht i need caber kits, boo. I dunno why it was only a 1.3 in drop, it looks good, not too much of a drop, ill see how bad it wears my tires.

well ya maybe the top shock bolts(the 3 bolts and not the 1 big one right?) have something to do with it. never thought about that. as for camber kit, i think i need it for the rear... i noticed that the inner side of the tire is dirtier then the outer side. probably by like an inch meaning the inner side is having more contact with the ground then the 1" outer part...
