Spring Bind

So, I'm getting some significant "spring bind" (can hear it and see it). I'm wondering if this may be due to bad / worn upper mounts? It's the only other thing I can think of, since the springs and struts are new - and installed by me...

Car is an 04 Corolla S. Springs are Eibach Pro kit and struts are Tokico Blues. Issue seems to be getting worse. Hear clunk and feel vibration when hitting pot-holes, bots-dots, turning, breaking or whetever (mostly low speed)... Becomingh very annoying!!!! Also, this car wants to fly off the road at speeds over 55mph. I hold the wheel straight and the car will pull and push all over the place, with no movement in the steering wheel. It's down right scary!!! What can I do? What is the problem??

worn upper mounts are a possibility....but to get that kind of movement, they must be dead and rotating on their own whenever they want!

I would check for loose suspension components- ball joints, control arms, etc.
