Default Rear bumping sound at low speed

Hello there,
New RSX owner here, less than a week actually. Now that I've had a chance to drive it more, I noticed a bump/thump sound from the rear and was wondering if any of you know what it may be. When I'm coming out of driveways and turning right or left on to the street is when the sound occurs. Right turns and the sound is from the right side and visa versa. The exact moment is when the body is half way onto the street and half still on the driveway. It may of also happened once while driving on the road and making a right hand turn at slow speed.

Car does have Tein SS coilovers. A honda tech told me yesterday it's common with aftermarket suspension systems to have situational noise.

Ideas anyone?

Check your strut bar end links. I had to replace the front and rear on my RSX. The OEM ones have a plastic insert that breaks and you end up metal on metal. The old ones are a bitch to get off but the new ones go on easy.
