make sure your strut is tight the two bolts in the engine bay... and it may be your axle on the side binding up i had the same problem except mine was more like a vibrating..

i mean the two 14mm bolts that hold the top of your strut to your car.. if they are loose when you hit bumps it will sound like a bang of some sort

with coil-overs your coil will lose contact with the strut bottom with large holes because of the strut moving and the coil staying stationary so if you have more than a 2 inch drop you will always have this problem. so raise it or live with it. I DO

did you put the top bushing on top of the coil? that sits in the top of the strut, and all the little rubber bushings as well?
