rear suspension noises...

My car has been lowered (tein s-tech) for about 2 months, and I've had AGX's on it for about 2 weeks... I noticed a few days ago that my rear springs started to make noise when pulling into my driveway (gotta love those humps in subdivisions)... it was a rubbing sound, so I was just assuming that the springs were rubbing eachother... well last night I noticed a clunking noise when going slow (less than 30mph) over little bumps in the road.. sounds like something is loose... also today the springs started to sound like they were rubbing each time I'd go over a small indention in the parking lot at work, along with the clunking over every single little bump... the noise is coming from the rear suspension, and was absolutely silent on stock struts. I'm thinking (and hoping) something simple like a loose bolt/nut... but I'm not sure.. anyone have an idea what it might be?

Try taking a torque wrench to all the bolts again (mainly the top ones), I did that on my fronts and now they are silent. Make sure you torque them to spec.
