Default Suspension thud

I have an 05 type-S that is lowered 1 inch (with springs and a camber kit) and recently I have noticed whenever I am taking a turn up or down a hill, the rear suspenion makes a loud thud. I tried searching and didnt come up with anybody who has had this problem. can anybody help?

Are your shocks blown? What springs are you using?

Sounds like the springs were installed wrong and are allowed to move a bit. It's strange that it only happens while turning and going up/downhill. The turning aspect points towards swaybar/endlink issues. Does it make the same sound if you hit a pothole or large bump?
