Default Front lowering springs pop and bang

Installed all new set of belstein lowering struts and springs. They have been given me a problem almost from the begining about 18 months ago i installed them. They pop and bang mostly al low speeds when turning and small pot holes. I just put new mounts on but no help. They seem to help at first but quickly after 2 weeks the noise comes back. My mechanics is lost, he wants me to go back to the old stuff. Any help with this prob please...thanks

spring pads? are the pigtails of the springs properly seated into the struts? What condition is your strut hat in?

Sounds like you need a new mechanic.
