Default clunking with teins

01 accord 4cyl dropped to the max on tein ss with upper pillowball mounts. the rear ones make a clunking sound even though they are not loose. The ride on the freeway is awesome however on slightly broken pavement it is a bit jittery. My assumptions are that the upper pillowball mounts have that effect on it. The mounts are about 3in tall. which means the spring itself is more compressed. Anybody has experience driving the same car on teins with and without the mounts? How to get rid of the clunking? And is it true that the upper pillowball mounts give you extra camber adjustment?

do you have aftermarket swaybars? if so, you might need to relube the poly bushings..

do you have rear camber arm? if you do, the ball joint might be busted and in need of replacement..

could even be that you're hitting the bump stops hard..
