I just installed Tien S-Techs, Bilsteins, and ST Swaybars. Whenever I turn the wheel I get popping sounds and smell burning rubber in the right wheelwell. From what I've read the popping is from the springs not being perfectly set, but why the burning smell?

You need to grease the upper suspension support before putting the strut assembly back together. Check the how-to on the forum, it helped because I had the exact same problem and till I recently fixed it.
