Default Skunk2 Lowering Springs Question?

Hello everyone I just have one question to ask and I think it might be a simple one to answer.

1.) I installed skunk 2 suspension on my EJ and the rear seemed to be loose not tight when I installed the top had and screwed it on to the shock. Now when I ride I hear some noise in the back at times when I go over bumps. Is there any way to eliminate this or will I just have to install washers on the shock to accommodate this problem?

Thanks in advance

As stated in the title there lowering springs and they make a clunk noise when I go over bumps. The shocks are good checked them before installation. Hmmmm what shocks are you running?

i relize it said lowering springs, but i have heard multiple people call coilovers, lowering springs.
im runing stocks with skunk2 coilovers.

did you assemble the shock right? i have only put one of these springs in one car, and this happend because my buddy forgot to put something on.
i would double check, everything, make sure all bolts are tightend, remember to jack the car up when torqueing them,and make sure the wheels are tight.

only thing i can think of is you forgot to put something on. but i may be wrong.

Everything was assembled right and I am also running stock socks. I do believe that the spring itself might be short to accommodate to the shock with the top had and all the hardware. As the front are a little longer than the rear and fit nice and snug when the top hat is assembled.
