Weird noises after suspension install

I installed some aftermarket suspension the other day and it has been making some noise everything I turn the steering wheel. I was told it could be the preload but I am not too familiar with coils as it is.

Any help what I can do to get rid of the noise, it sounds like clunk clunk. .

It seems like all megan brands does that. It could be the top upper mounts rubbing due to the cheap part they use. Also you want to make sure the nuts/bolts are tight. They tend to loosen up causing the springs to turn...

They are used coilovers but it just doesnt seem right, A lot of clunking like something is not tightened down but everything IS tightened down.

I've had the same ones before... it did make a lot of noise. I've read in different forums. One of the fact is that the upper mounts would make noise when it comes in contact with metal to metal...

But sometimes it went away and sometimes comes back...
