Default Alignment question

I got the Eibach spring installed and I love them. They give the car a great aggressive stance. However I have a minor question / problem. And I know Nothsa is also curious about these springs and their alignment issues so maybe this thread can help us both out.

After I got the springs installed I noticed that when I put the car in gear and start moving I feel a click in the front wheel. Not sure if its both or just the left or just the right. But after the car is moving past lets say 5mph I dont feel that click anymore. This also happens in reverse and if I am doing a sharp turn. Whats the deal with that? Is it my alignment? Springs installed incorrectly?

I ordered the Eibach alignment kit for $30 and am getting them next week. Maybe that might help the problem.

You read my mind skilz4u2nv I was going to say "I'm looking for the same answer!", lol. I am ordering my Pro-Kit along with my X-Pipe tonight and am going to go with the alignment kit to be safe. I'm not sure of any other solutions and hope both me and you get out question answered so we don't run into any problems.

I am interested in this issue as well. Those of you who have the Pro-kit, what did you have to do to make sure alignment and camber issues did not arise? I love the look offered by the Eibachs, but I'm leery of installing them without a very clear understanding of the possible consequences and how to avoid them.

Thanks,
Tim

If anyone can answer this tonight, that would awesome. I really wanted to place my order on my springs tonight but now am not sure if I will.

I ordered from RPM because I got my X-Pipe from there and really didn't want to place another order from another company. I get all of my stuff on Tuesday. I'll have the X-Pipe installed Wednesday and hopefully the Springs on Thursday.
