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.

well check to see if your tires are hitting the fender wells or maybe its your cv joints

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.
