Clunking Normal with Eibach Prokit/Tokico SHocks?

Setup is eibach prokit/tokico shocks/eibach sway bars on an FD and there is some pretty noticeable cluncking over bumps in the rear. Is this normal? and if not, what could be wrong? It's not sqeaking, but more like cluncking, as if the springs are loose in the perch and just bouncing around in the strut. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Danny

I just installed rear Bilstein shocks with PFS (Eibach) springs & I have the same problem. Everything is torqued to factory specs & I replaced everything rubber with new parts. I think we both made the same mistake, whatever it is. Clunking & clicking over bumps.

What about the spacers? Could that possibly have an effect on anything? I used the spacers that came with the Bilsteins & they are about half the size of the spacers that came out of the car. Seems unreasonable since torque is torque but I can't figure what I could have done wrong.

Could it be your pillow ball bearings? That's what usually causes that.
