Check your anti sway linkages - if the bolt is loose - it will clunk like you described...

make sure the springs are all sitting correctly

It could be an issue with the strut mount. I had the same issue back when I put spring on my Toyota Celica. I think the part is called the strut mount. It is the piece that the strut bolts to and that bolts to the car.

For example on my Celica, the top should look like (| and the strut looks the same. On my old car, the center of the strut mount got rounded out and then looked like (). When I was hearing the pop sound, it was the strut moving from the mount.

Hope that helps.

any loose parts will make a clunk. Did you make sure to tighten everything up well? Check those rear ones cuz its pretty easy to forget one back there. I got the eibachs did em myself and no probs. Like i had before check to see if you have something stuck between the a arm and the frame.

My MX-3 had the same problems after I installed Eibachs and Tokicos. The problem was the change in the geometry of the axles since the car was lowered. The fix was to shorten the axles and re-spline the ends which corrected the clunking. Hope this helps, at least something else to check.
