my guess is a faulty installation of the springs and something has come loose.

I second that. Double check everything even if it involves taking apart your front suspension again. Was this done by you or did you take it to a shop? When we did my springs (pain in the arse!) when everything was put back together there was no grinding or screeching sounds. Did you install a camber kit w/ the springs?

i didnt install the camber kit, and I had a senior master technician put them in, did you need the camber kit for the h-techs?

i would take it back to the tech that did the install and have him give it a once over. the camber kit(s) is a good investment becasue it will save you $$$$ on tires in the long run. when lowering a car it will give your tires a negative camber, so when you drive, you are wearing the inside of the tires faster then normal. not sure if you have custom wheels, but performance tires for aftermarket wheels are loot $$$$$ . if you dont have camber kits installed check out this link for a set of front/rear kits:

i recommend the adjustable control arms for both front and back, as it gives your tire camber full adjustability.

let us know what the tech says about the install and if he figures out just what the hell is going on. good luck!
