clunking noise after lowering spring install

I just installed tein lowering springs on my evo 9 today and now im hearing a clunking noise when i turn the wheel. Could it be the spring slipping on the perches? It only makes the noise when i turn nothing when going straight. I made sure all bolts were tight so i guess its coming from the springs? any help would be great thanks.

Incorrect install. You must make sure the hole in the top perch lines up with the hole in the lower perch. See #13 in link above.

hey thank you too. i had the same problem with my evo 8 when i installed my swift springs. i was sure i installed them ok. i took the strut back out and i used hand tools on the top 17mm strut bolt and lined up the middle hole on the upper perch with the hole on the bottom perch. it worked.
