Question Clunking sound after installing Eibach springs?

I have had my Eibach ProKit springs on my GEN 3 Camry for a couple months now and ever since installing them i've had a clunking sound from the front struts when going over small bumps. Only @ slower speeds and it does not matter how the wheels are turned. I installed new struts @ the same time(KYB GR-2). All the rubber spring insulators are new too.

The only thing I can think is that the Eibach springs rattle against themselves a bit on small bumps. Its annoying! Very noticible in parking lots with cracks in the pavement.

Anyone else experienced this?

there shouldnt be any clunking noises. make sure everything is tight. when i installed eibach springs on my camaro, i didnt have a rear shock bolted on tight enough so it clunked on small bumps. also check your sway bay endlinks. maybe the bushings were damaged during the install.

Checked all bolts for proper torque. Everything was right. All bushings look fine and are tight. Thanks for the suggestion ghettosled. Had a friend cycle the suspension while i listened. The knocking is somewhere in the spring. Anyone else w/Eibachs have this noise???

i have the same problem, asg14 does as well. It seems to be a common problem with the kyb / eibach combo. so why did everyone recommend this again?
