Noises after installing Megan Coilovers?

I just recently installed coilovers and got an alignment right after. Now when I start the car and turn the wheel lock to lock, it makes a poping noise from the coil area. It sometimes happens while i'm driving, is this normal?

Also is it possible to install the front coilovers on the wrong side?

$100 says its the spring ends getting "caught" against the upper mount and/or spring perch. Make sure there is some sort of plastic washer between the spring and the perch and upper mount to allow it to rotate freely as strut spins.

It's started to happen a little more, maybe because its getting colder? I'm thinking about putting her up this weekend and trying to tighten everything again just to make sure.
