Default Gc/koni rear rattle

I replaced my pro kit to gc coilover kit on my h22 del sol,
The spring rattle when the car is lifted ,
I understand it is ok and normal but when riding on bumps
The rear spring sounds like it rattle and goes back to place.

Is this normal i saw on the net that I am not the only one.
Can I fix it ?
I am sure it is the spring

Please advice
Thanks

How are you sure it's the spring? It's highly unlikely the spring is coming unseated unless the wheels are damn near leaving the ground as you go over bumps.

You been catchin' air or something? Dukes o Hazzard sweet jumps?

$10 says it's not the spring.

Take off your rear wheels and be sure everything is tightened down. LCA bolts, etc.

Got a rear sway bar? Got it installed correctly (not upside down)? Using adjustable end links that might be worn?

Did you fail to install spring isolators?

My endlinks hit the shocks on occasion, if the rear ARB has shifted too far to one side, making a nice rattle / clank sound when going over bumps.

everything is connected and tightened double checked, got oem sway bar and connected correctly, no adjustable end links, spring isolator installed.

it sounded like clank ,there is no way when riding fast on bumps that the spring will rattle?

before the installation i never heard something like that, maybe it was the exhaust or some metal moved in my trunk i will check and update.

Thanks
