Eibach Springs binding problem

I am getting a popping noise when turning my wheels all the way to the left or right, anyone else with eibachs gotten this problem? How did you go about fixing the binding issue.

Its likely the spring was not installed aligned with the strut. There is a ledge the end of the spring must land in during install.It possible you can lift the car and try to turn the spring so the end of the spring is aligned with the ledge on the strut housing/spring perch.

Exactly, this applies to both the top and bottom. The rubber insulators are formed to fit into the "notched" recess just as the coil end of the spring should.
