I currently have eibach springs on my 2011 maxima. It is making a popping noise that is driving me nuts when I turn. I have tried all possible option but have had no luck. I'm thinking about getting a coil over kit. Which is better megan racing kit or ksport kit? Can anybody help me. Thanks.

Could be that the strut insulator mounts are out of position or the insulators on the actual coil aren't located where they need to be. Might try those cheap fixes before dropping 1K on a c/o setup.

i had the same issue for a bit, I tried re-setting them multiple times, and something was just not right. Made a popping almost creaking sound when i'd turn at low speeds. Then on the last time I tried to reset them, I found that the top of the coil was fitting loosely on the top mount.

I contacted eibach and sent them a video of how they were fitting, turns out they were a bad spring. They sent me out a new pair for the front, Once I installed the new set, the creek was gone and all has been good since.

short story: call eibach support, they'll get you squared away.
