poping noise from front end after lowering.

So as the title says I'm having a poping noise comming from the front end when I hit bumps at slow speeds. I can't tell what side its comming front because it seams pretty even. Iv only had the car lowered for about 2 months now and it jus started about a week ago doing this. Also I lowered it using eibach sportlines. Thanks chris

well, i would start with the basics. make sure all the bolts are tight, springs are still where they should be, and lined up properly. on the front, you also have to make sure the strut is facing the proper way, with the tab facing in towards the engine, otherwise it doesnt' line up.

after that, i'm not really sure what it could be, but that's a start.

also double check and make sure the sway bar end link is tight.....that will make a popping sound over bumps for sure if they are loose

indeed it will...as it did in my case. one bolt was a lil loose and after awhile (and lots of pot holes) it jiggled its way loose enough to start makin all kinds of noise. but also use the impact gun to hit up them two large nuts (not your twigs n berries as this will cause bodily injury) on the top of the strut as aforementioned.

Ill have to look at that stuff over.... it only does it when I hit bumps. About the springs not seating properly idk if that's the case I mean why would they be fine for 3 months then all the sudden move?
