Default HELP eibach springs!!!!!!!!

ok so i finally put on my lowering kit (with stock suspension) and now I can say my car looks pretty damn good. However, whenever i turn i hear a loud pop or click noise. also if im driving for a while, i will start to hear small "thumps" comming from the front of the car. What did i do wrong and how can this be fixed. someone please. O and is the car still safe to drive. i dont wanna mess up something else by not fixing this problem.

I installed the eibach pro kit springs and my friend forgot to put on a cap on the very top of on of the springs. So i had to take it apart and put it back on. That eliminated the loud poping noise that i hear but i still hear thumps whenever i drive. I checked the well and i have good clearance.

I think i fixed it, one of the tie rods was stripped so the tapping noise was the strut moving. Thank god that was the only thing. as for the pics ill load them up probably this weekend.
