Default Spring install gone wrong?

Hi, i just got my ride lowered with Eibach ProKit and for some very odd reason, i have some suspicion that they werent installed correctly. When i was coming home with a lowered ride and a grin on my face, i heard a single click from each strut towers all on different times. All four towers did eventually make the single click noise but i feel that something has not been done right. Is there any way i can check this? Thanks.

Maybe the the coils are just settleing in, thats if you heard it only one time. If the sound persists or gets worse take it back.

the springs will settle and move a little at first. they could do it every time you jack your car up in some cases, if the spring is short enough that it comes loose on the strut. nothing to worry about, as the last post said, unless it persists.
