I know this has been addressed in previous threads before, but after installing some coilovers onto my car, the noise makes some clicking noises at low speeds/a stop when turning the steering wheel or going over bumps. I didn't change out the original bolts and had a shop install them for me. What solutions do we have to this problem? should I just retorque the bolts? order new bolts? or is there some other solution to this problem.

This is a can of worms. I have the same, and haven't found a solution. I've even changed the bolts twice.

Mine is on the driver's side only, and only when I'm cornering hard, otherwise it's quiet. I didn't even notice it until I went to The Dragon.

All my bolts are new, and tight, so I'm at a loss.

Yours sounds more simple. Do a quick search and you'll find there are several possibilities, but I'd start with replacing the torque-to-yield bolts that hold the strut in place.

Those are the ones that bolt to the strut tower right? i heard that it could be those or the one on the strut collar.

It's the bolt/nut at the bottom, where it fits into the carrier.

Also, check the metal bracket associated with the bottom bolt.
It can shift under load causing the click.

Now that's something I haven't heard.

I'm going to leave the click though, I'm not dicking with it anymore, and I'm for damn sure not buying any more torque-to-yield 6¢ bolts for $15.

It can continue to click under extreme circumstances, no worries.
