Default Suspension problem....

I have a 98dx coupe with Tokico blues and GC coilovers. The problem is that both rear shocks always sound like they are bottoming out. They sounded like this the day I installed them. What can it be?? Any help would be really appreciated because it sounds really rough. Car is on stockies for the winter now and it isnt lowered that much, probably just to the top of the wheel so there is no gap between the fender and wheel. Thanks for any help. PAUL

check to make sure that the top hat bolts are all tight, proper washers are in the right spot, and that your rubber insert is still in the pillow mount. Good luck man
