Hello

I've installed Prokit on my 09 Hatch last week.

However I've noticed a creeking almost grinding sound coming out of the driver side when i turn or reverse slowly. We tried to take the prokit out and check to see if everything was nice and tight. But still the same...

And then I brought the car to alignment, but still the sound is still there...

Does anyone have a solution for that?
Please help...

I'm assuming the sound is coming from the front based on the info you've posted. It is possible that some bearings fell out of the upper strut; this has been known to happen quite easily and the result is added noise. Did you use the same struts when you installed and removed the springs?

Other things to do/check:

- make sure everything is tight
- make sure the area where the spring seats is free of debris
- consider lining the spring seat

+1, Check the bearings and seating....and make sure they are torqued correctly....too tight can cause issues also.
