spring pop, n pull

i recently had a set of maxspeeds put in inplace of my stockers, still on stock struts. when i first drive the car the front end makes a low rubbing sound and sometimes a pop and then my alignment is thrown off so bad i can barely drive the thing, depending on the turns u take, sometimes itll pop back into alignment and sometimes not, usually not, mainly pulls to the right. i had an alignment done but it didnt do anything. any ideas?

It's look like the lower struts bolt aren't thigh enough!!

Else I don't have any idea!!

If you have it aligned, I don't know what to tell you!!

were the upper strut mounts installed right? there is an arrow that faces outward, and if it not right, that could be the problem. Was it a good shop that did it? Maybe the spring isnt seated correctly (i had that prob on my sentra) and everytime i turned, the spring would "bounce"

There are only 5 bolts also, make sure they are all tight. 2 on the struts, and 3 up top in the engine bay. Oh, and the 1 on the strut as well.
