-is it a clicking as in when you get in the car you hear this kind of ping? cause if thats the case its just the springs settling in
-if its a clicking while going over rough roads, its cause the top rubber perch wasnt aligned right or you didnt install the rubber tubing that goes on the bottom of the spring.
-if its making it while you turn, i have no idea. i think some people have complained of that tho, try searching maybe you'll find it

Its weird it only clicks when i go over a bump its just 1 click...I might try to take of the back springs/struts and put them on again if the clicking doesnt go away in a couple days.

no...nothing to do with breaks....could it be maybe i put the rear struts back in a little crooked? cause at first one was way off then i put it back in the spring compressor and turned it...then the 2 bolts on top lined up in the trunk and the bottom bolt to the swing arm. maybe it is still a litlle off???

It seems like everybody that has put lowering springs or coilovers on the 7thgen seem to have noises. I don't know what it is. My car makes a clicking noise when I hit a bump or turn. It seems to come from the front drivers side.

Yes, I installed mine a couple of days ago and I too have a new click orginating in the driver/front. I was worried that perhaps something wasnt torqued properly or something. But when I turn hard enough I can actually feel the click, almost like a shift in my steering. Like something is falling into place. And what rubber sleeve are we talking about? It goes along the bottom of the spring? The stock spring did'nt come with nay type sleeve. Also, is it really that neccessary to trim the bumb stops? Even at just a 1.5" drop? I don't see why....it makes no sense unless your going to bottom out coming off a hill or something, but if you drive in the city and are not racing out of driveways, bottoming out isnt a real risk. Anyway, I hope that clicking goes away soon...Maybe after the alignment.
