Neuspeed springs makes my brakes click!?

Hey everyone..just install neuspeed sport lowering springs. Later that day, i noticed that everytime i start drivin my car( going out) I noticed that i hear a clickin noise when i step on the brakes gently. I also noticed that when i turn the wheel(make a left turn) i can feel something clickin or grindin, but then it would go away after i drive for 10 mins. I also noticed that when i'm going to park in reverse, everytime i touch my brakes, i can hear a little click..does anyone have soluations or advice for me?? I'm going to get my car aline tommrow. thanks..

umm I get something like that but its not my brakes... Sometimes when I step on my break my springs rub together or something... The sound only comes from my front right side at low speeds. People say its my spring settling, but it should have settled a long time ago. I get it rarely... Did you install your springs with the closer or tighter coils on the bottom of the perch or on the top? I'm getting my alignment tomorrow to and my rear camber install... Well do a search, me and Phlipsidez have similar problems so check it out....

well guys that means that you installed them wrong!!!! b/c i was watching on tnn the mechanics show on lowering that honda crx and they said that when putting on the new lowering springs that you should leave a small gap at the bottom of the spring and the spring stopper. hard to explain but i'll try a little more.. the black piece that holds the spring at the bottom don't know what its called but theres an indention where the end of your spring is supposed to line up at.. well at that point you are supposed to leave a small gap instead of lineing up the end of the spring up to that indention you put a small gap. sorry really can't explain it any better but thats what is supposed to be done had to learn it the hard way but that was what i did and now no clicking...
