Default BC coils w/ 1.8 inch drop

Hey guys I just got these coils installed with about a 1.8 inch drop. Any of you guys getting loud clunking sounds at lower gears? It's really annoying. And the rubber thing in front of the front tires literally scrapes on ANY potholes I drive by. Would you guys recommend removing it? thanks

I'd double check that everything's tight under the car. There shouldn't be loud clunking sounds.

Shouldn't be any loud clunking, but those plastic things in front of the wheels can be removed and I removed them. Caught them on everything and was like...screw these. I think they are only there to aid with aero for gas mileage.

1.8 is a pretty decent size drop on these cars.
