Default Weird noise after install springs (not clunk)

After installed Eibach lowering springs on my 08 IS250 AWD, I notice a very weird noise from front left suspension. Every time my front left tire hit a hole or over uneven road, a noise comes with when suspension is working. It sounds like something is loosen and hitting something, sounds like plastic. It's not very loud but driver can definitely hear it. Hard to describe that noise, only comes when front left suspension is working. The guy installed springs has checked everything but he couldn't find what's wrong. Has anyone occurs similar situation?

take off the wheel and check the places in btw the coils to see if any paint has come off the spring. if so insulate with some rubber to prevent the bind

i had similar noise after i lowered mine, didn't sound like a clunk, but adding some rubber totally removed the noise
