Exclamation Clunk after Prodrive lowering springs fitted

This is my first post as a new member so apologies if this question has been posted/answered before, but can anyone offer some advice on this?
I recently fitted Prodrive lowering springs to my 2003 WRX with help of a fellow Subaru enthusiast who is also a competent mechanic. Initially everything seemed fine, however soon after install a single 'clunk' sound appeared from front end (sounds like nearside) whenever turning at slow speed with plenty of lock on e.g. reversing off drive or pulling into garage. Noise was not there previously & have checked installation i.e. everything torqued up properly, springs sat on perches correctly!
Any ideas?
Cheers.

had this problem after getting a previous impreza lowered,turned out the chap who fitted them never seated the spring properly in spring seat,only required jacking up car and twisting sring round into locater seat,maybe not your prob but sounds same.

i have had this problem when i changed to prodrive springs on my 2003 sti, i think its a seating issue.The standard springs have a flat ground on the top that makes them sit even,the prodrive ones don't they are just left round at the top,thats what i'm thinking anyway, the noise i get sounds like its from the strut.
