Default First the drop, now the noise...

I installed a set of Eibach ProLine few months back, couldn't be any happier.
But lately I notice a considerable amount of fainted clunks and clinks from the front left suspension. I went over a few big pot holes, knocked out the alightments and bent some 19" TRD wheels. I had the car realigned but the noise still hanging around. Anyone have an educated guess of what it can be?
Jack the car and inspected the whole knuckles, but visually nothing is loose. Help... it's getting louder everyday.

When you replaced the stock spring, you probably did not re-seat the strut correctly. There is a notch in the cap in between the spring and the top hat. When it is not seated properly it will make that noise.
