Default problems with H&R sports on tokico blues - 98 civic coupe

Has anyone else heard a loud THUNK sound from the rear wheel wells when you go over ANY GODDAMN BUMP AT ALL? it happens to me all the damn time. It hasnt actually effected my driving, but it drives me nuts. If i only had 650 bucks to buy omnipowers the problem would be solved....but i dont....so is there anyway to quiet a suspension down? or to fix this problem?

overall i like the ride from the springs, but they arent built that well in my opinion. Also, any suggestions on new springs that would work well with my tokico blues would be appreciated...(also looking to go about 2 inch drop total front and back...HR sports are about 1.6 - 1.8)

thanks

Blues are super soft shocks. It's probally your bottoming out on your bump stops.

2 things...

im not low at all, plus this happens on every little imperfection in the road.

also, it doesnt happen in the front at all. front sounds normal and fine.

only the rear.

Make sure the exhaust is still on the hangers and has clearance. You might be banging the piping around a bit. Just a thought.

question.. when you put in the tokico's.. did you cut your bumpstops? if you didn't cut them, my best guess is that.. i've had them blue ones before on neuspeed springs.. no problems..
