Eibach Pro Kit Problem
I installed lowering springs about 6 months ago with no problem. Just recently theres been a knocking noise from the front Left Wheel. Whenever Im going really slow or step on the brake. Anyone out there have the same problem. I did do a search on this problem but only found results on the rear doing a noise. Any suggestions. I brought the car to mazda and they told me its not the strut.

Check your sway bar link nuts. I had one coming loose and it sounded almost exactly like what you describe. It would pop whenever the sway bar got loaded up. You have to take these bolts out to put in springs or struts, so maybe it didn't get tight enough.
