Default suspension noise from lowering

i have kyb shocks and skunk2 -1.8inch springs with the eibach 19mm anti-role bars and upper swaybars as well as oversized brebo brakes. Unfortunately, after all this money my ride makes this terrible clunky noise when going over bumps. i want to swich to coilovers but will that get rid of that hideous noise. it makes me crazy. i just had a jg engine built at 650 hp at 33 lbs boost. so i neep the pimp **** and have been leaning toward tein ss w/ pillow mount but some say it isn't what it's cracked up to be? HELP!! What do you racers rely on. my car is a 99' accord sedan

could be them being not seated 100% correctly, or the a-arms are hitting your strut towers...

i looked at the spring a few different times and they looke d perfect. i even took the front out and put it back in and still makes the noise. seems like all four corners ttoo. the springs are perfect as well with no signs of impact anywhere. do you think it could be becuase the springs are shorter than oem. seems to me to be a common noise from honda's lowered with springs and shocks instead of coil overs. is this a new idea?
