Default Thumping Noise after installing springs

Hey guys. I just installed my new tein s-tech springs and the car looks so freaking hot!!!!
but...there seems to be a thumping noise at the rear right tire whenever i'm driving. this noise occurs at anytime, when i'm pulling out slowly out of my driveway, or while i'm driving aimlessly in local roads. it seems that the rear right tire has become very sensitive, and even when i hit a small bump in the road, the whole car makes a "thumping" noise. has anyone with springs had problems like this? i'm thinking that it possibly could be the shocks hitting against the inner wall of the car? did i not screw the pieces in tightly enough (even though i know i did)?

i'm so lost right now, i'm a completely illiterate when it comes to car "modding." i feel as though my tire is going to fall off! =T

I have the same problem but cant figure it out. I first thought it may be the bolt that goes on top top of the strut when you put the springs back on, you know the one that you think is going to shoot off at 100 mph if you dont compress the stock springs while taking them off. I thought the strut may be bouncing around and tightned it but that didnt do the trick. I just live with it now.

where exactly is the strut bar? the tower bar is the one inside the trunk, next to the spare tire, behind the hard carpet wall right?

There should be a rear strut bar unless you put it on.
