Strut noises

After installing tien-s springs 1.5" all around on my I30T, ive noticed at poping/clanking noise coming from the front end when i turn the wheel. Almost sounds like the springs are moving...I've lowerd cars before and never had this problem. What did I do wrong. They are maxima springs, but look identical to the I30's.

quite possibly the strut mounts/bearings are shot....i believe the same thing is happening to me.....i as well have S-tech's but this sound is happening now after 10 months of having the springs on

talked to nissan and they said the life span for these parts are about 5 years

That same exact thing happened to me when I installed the Tein S. Springs on my 96 Maxima. After a couple weeks of driving, the noises went away so I stopped worrying about it. But yeah, most people said it was either the strut bearings or strut mounts.
