im not shure, but ive had the same problem when i installed my lowering springs, due to the fact that i forgot to put one of the rubber stopper thingys ....on the top of your strut tower...(open hood, check if strut moves around in the tower...if so, maybe u forgot to put one of those stoppers, or misplaced it on the inside of the spring, like i did lol....lots of newb mistakes ive made haha

yah nothing moves around at all im guessing it might be the coilover sleves moving around and hitting aginst the strut because the o rings wernt installed all to well, but i was just wondering if anybody had had the same problem or if anybody knew what it was and how to fix it.
