Default shocktower noise

i recently installed omni-power fully adjustable coilovers in my DA and i did everything myself with the help of 2 buddies, it all went in flawlessly as you can imagine, 3 or 4 bolts and im done, im still getting all of my adjustments figured out but one thing i cant seem to figure out is this loud noise i get when i pull in somwhere coming from my left hand rear coilover. the noise is hard to desrcibe but it sounds like something is popping in or out of place like a "pong" noise, it only happens when the rear shock is fully compressed. any ideas on what might be making the noise>?

yea i installed the coilovers myself but the plunking sound only comes when i go up like a ramp sideways. my friend told me that my back wheel was in the air. so basically i think its the rubber fitting on the top of the coilover and its plunking in and out

that makes sense, now that I think about it when I lowered the adjustment while my car was up I noticed that the rubber piece wasn't staying up. I'll have someone watch my wheel to see if its coming off the ground. thanks for the help I was starting to get worried I was gunna majorly f**k something up
