Default Very bad suspension problem!!!!

I just figured out what this bangin noise I've been experiencing is. It is my control arms hitting my body, you can actually see that the metal has bend bent from so much hitting. I don't know much about suspension components, but I do't think I have any bumpstops. Is this the reason for the control arms hitting the body?

Also I was trying to adjust my ride height and the right side will not level with the left side. My right side is a good 1/4" higher than the left even though the perches are a 1/4" lower on the right than the left.

Can anyone help me!!!!

My car is lowered about 1.5 - 2 inches (there is 1 figure gap on the left and 1.5 on the right).

It sounds like a loud bang and it happens when going over bumps or crevaces.

What is the spring rate on the coilovers you have, and how much bumpstop do you have left.

im not exactly sure on the spring rates, I'm waiting for Weapon-R to call me back.

To be honest I'm not sure if the bumpstops are there. I'm not sure if I'm looking for the right thing. Can you physically see the bumpstops when looking under the car. All I see is a peice of metal or rubber around the shock rod that is flush with the top (right where the body is).
