Default rear knocking noises

I just installed my omni coilovers on kyb-agx shocks and it handles great and everything, but every single little bump I hit I hear like a knocking noise front the hatch, kind of rattling like. I looked under there and didn't see anything scratched from hitting, I thought it might be the sway bar hitting the shock or something but there wasn't any paint chipped. All the bolts are tight, and the front doesn't do it. All I can think of is that it might be the spring jumping around since it isn't tight in between the shock and mount while the car is jacked up, and maybe not over bumps either. I searched and found some other posts about this but nobody had any answers, if anyones had this and fixed it let me know

You sure your coilovers are perched right on your shocks? Maybe theyre "popping" out.

Also, when you're going over a bump, or up a driveway, the springs compress then eventually uncompress. During the time of uncompression(is that a real word?) it's possible that your coilovers jump out, but pop back into place. I talked to someone with a similar problem, he said that was the problem he was having.

that does sound like what they're doing, but what can i do to get rid of that? does honda/anyone make some spring pads I could throw in there or should I just raise the back more so that they're always closer to the top and harder to spring out
