Have you looked to see where the metal-to-metal noise is coming from? Is there any indication of them rubbing? Check the spring when the tire is at full turn either direction also.

Hmmm I noticed after my Eibach Pro's went on that , when I hit a good dip in the road it sounds like my right front suspension is bottoming out VERY hard , almost like hitting the c/c plate with a sledge hammer.

Clint...

Do you run a sway bar up front? If so, they seem to make a lot of noise if the end links are tightened up with the suspension at full "droop". Problem is, most of our cars are slammed to the point that access to the end link with the car on the ground is impossible.

Ken...you might be hitting the bumpstop on the strut..
