Just installed Eibachs and slight pop when I turn steering wheel

I just installed my Eibach's today on my S and everything looks great and feels great also. On the way back home, I know im not the only person that turns all the music and everything off and listen to how everything sounds. When I turn the wheel hard to the right and left, I get a very faint popping noise. I don't know if its the springs settling or what but I would like to figure out what it is. The noise only happens when I turn the wheel hard. Anyone with Eibach's have this problem?

Yeah it sounds like the spring isn't seated right. Jack up the car and remove the front wheels. You'll definitely be able to tell of that's your problem.

Yea its seems likes it getting more quiet by the day and this morning when I got to work, I didnt hear it at all so I guess I will just keep listening for the next few days to see if its gone for good.

Its nothing to be too paranoid about, im sure mine was seated properly. Ive been installing springs for awhile and I always make sure its seated right but it may have been off a little but it is definetly working itself out lol...

Does your rear tires camber in a little bit? When I got aligned, they said that they couldnt get it back 100% straight but the car drives straight. It was -1.9 before and after the spring install it was -2.1

O.k I checked my springs if they are making that faint popping noise coming home from college and they are not. thank god. I guess my friend did a good job. BTW a professor with a new 2012 Maxima with the sport package came rolling up as I was getting my things out of the trunk this morning and he told me how I inspired him from last semester to buy one . Now he wants info on how I lowered my Max. I told him to just join Maxima.org and get the details

I also have a slight pop when at full lock but it is not every time. My main problem right now with the springs is the horrible squeak I get when going over speed bumps. I have had the springs on the car since the summer. I never heard it before until winter but it gets worse when it gets colder. Is there anything I can do to fix it like maybe a little grease?
