Default Rear coil sitting lower, slight click/clunk noise
Less then 500 miles on new suspension. Noticed few days ago that on occasion the rear drivers side clicks/clunks depending on type of bump I hit. Havent hit any pot holes or large bumps. Noticed the same coil sits slightly lower then the passenger side esp with driver in seat. It wasnt like this at first. Damper need adjusting? Something come loose, shock bad already?! What could be causing this? Running brand new BC coil overs.

i wouldnt think the springs would settle that dramatically, but it could be possible.

Just one side? I'm concerned more so because of the sound I'm hearing.

maybe the top mounting bolts for the shock need to be adjusted/re torqued
