Default Just lowered my car, NEED HELP!

I just lowered my car using Eibach sportline kit, and now my passanger side strut is making a grinding noise. Sounds like rubber in a tight area getting pushed around. They kit came with new bumpstops so i installed them and its only the passenger side making this aweful noise, any ideas?! it is driving me nuts. Thanks in advance !

It makes the noise when? Turning? Going over bumps?

You may not have seated the spring properly onto the upper or lower rubber seat, or a washer in upper mount might be grinding the rubber that surrounds the guide that the strut is supposed to slide through to mount the nut (did that make sense? I can't explain it any other way).

I'd just bite the bullet and take the assembly apart and rebuild it.

Maybe once everything settles it'll go away.

Anyhow... good job! Where's the pics?
