thats not normal, you left something lose or something, do you have rims or stock, maybe if you have the wrong offset and its now rubing, but unlikely,

that's not normal. if you did it yourself, i'd say take it apart and reinstall making sure to double-check everything. if you had a shop install them, take it back and tell them of the problem.

Nothing major, I would go with daewonder's advice if it was installed by yourself. The springs could have been installed backwards which would cause that popping sound.

Good luck!

the popping sound is a loose bolt on the shock mounts, when BrianxB installed my set he took it out for a spin on rough roads and said you either have the pop or you don't, it's a loose bolt on the top of the shocks, I didn't because he torqued them down like a ****, so check that first, if there's still a problem, re-do the shocks one by one until the problem's fixed so you don't spend 2 hours on the full redo, like take apart and redo one, test drive, then do another

goodluck and if you didn't do it take it back and tell them what I told you, it's not normal to any degree
