did you remove the springs and install the new ones on the struts or did someone else with a spring compressor?

is this still on stock strut?

EDIT:

also for the best diagnoses you might wanna walk us through the steps you took to remove/ disassemble and then reassemble/ install the springs struts?

i did them myself...first to take them out the first time...i just used a piece of wood and uncompressed the spring but then i couldnt put the eibach ones on so i had to get a manual compressor... yes...the eibach springs are still on the stock strut... i cant figure out whats making the noise? do i have to take it out again or what?

that top bolt with the allen key cut in the top is a PITA!

you need to get it pretty tight though, should be threaded on about 1/2 inch or so... that could be the source of your problems.
