Default slight knock after raising coilovers up an inch. 97 civic dx

Just noticed a slight knock upon decelerating/braking. I have buddy club n+ full coilovers. I decided to raise them an inch for daily driving use. Began noticing a slight knock sound when driving thru town when decelerating/braking. Help! Thanks!

hahaha. Unfortunately, only midgets would fit in my trunk. I only ventured down that road once. Bad memories...

let me be a little more specfic for you:

The slight "knock" is not coming from my trunk, but from somewhere around the front wheels. I just raised the suspension up an inch, so I figured I threw something a little off. It is a very soft sound. I am going to get an allignment tomorrow to se if that helps, or to see if the mechanic can see anything wrong.

I was looking to see if anyone else has experienced this problem after a slight suspension raise that didn't involve the occasional midget hooker in the back.
