HELP: with suspension

I lowered my car with gc's about a month ago, and im getting some kyb's sometime this week...because my stockies finaly took a crap. Here's the ? when i hit a bumb or something it rattles in the back...Im thinking its the shaft on the strut thats lose or something...also my friend said something about a strut mount that could be shot. What else could it be? Any suggestions?
thanks

I know when i lowered my car we put something on backwords on the rear strut. I'm not sure what it was but it made a rattling noise over bumps. make sure that everything is back how it should be. How do you like the gc? how much do you have it lowered?

I'm not sure what it could be but when you switch out your struts, try to do all of the noise stopping adders to keep your car quiet.

Ground Controls are noisy. It you want a quiet suspension setup go back to a spring and strut combo.
