I would check to make sure the wheels are torqued all the way down. The last time I heard that in a car it turned out the wheels were loose on the hubs...soembody forgot to check it after they worked on it..could have been really bad news.

Also check to make sure the axles are in all the way...that can also be CV joints..maybe some binding?

IT could be that the springs were not installed properly...

The bottom of the springs have a notch that the spring must fit in, and if it's not, it could allow them to pop around and make noise.... The rears can make a fun noise as well if they were not installed right, as they have to be compressed at just the right point and then returned to that point to be reinstalled...

I'd take them back to where you had them installed and get it looked at pretty quick...

Check both front and rear swaybars. They may be loose...

you could be hitting the suspension, you are riding on bigger wheels which will most likely have a different offset than stock, so then lowering the car might be making it hit when you turn.
