What's the sound, what's it sound like, where is it coming from? You gotta help us with more info so we can help you figure it out.

from the front struts i think, like somethings moving, it's a clanking noise, but i know everything is tight, i'm thinkin maybe it's just the new struts and springs wearing in hopefully......
it's just like everything's just banging together in the wheel wells

You probably forgot to tighten something, or your springs arent seated properly. Check all of the mounting bolts. (Upper bolts in engine bay, control arm bolts, fork pinch bolt)

well it's funny you say the mounting thing for the springs, they were loose in there when i put the struts back on, but i figured when i put the car down it down tighten them up?
i'm pretty positive it isn't any bolts, i did those pretty well, and i thought that also maybe it could be that i have cheap coil overs on the back and the diff. is messing with the new front springs (haven' put on the new backs cuz a lug is stripped on my back wheel)

hmm, is it like a bang noise as if rock hit under the car somewhere? cause my civic is starting to make the same noise and i need to figure out how to fix it. the noise is coming from my drivers side mostly
