Check the bolt tightness on all the Eibach parts and anything else you loosened/reinstalledand also check the control arms. Also make sure you take a grease gun and lubricate all the fittings/nipples on the installed parts. Also need to have the alignment checked as you have redone your suspension.

Still make sure you grease the fittings. It will help with the ride (from experience).

Did you replace the shocks/struts too? If not, how is that working out?
