Coilover noise

Breakdown:

I am getting a sort of "bottom out" type noise on like every little bump from my front passenger side. The front driverside does not seem to be making this noise and the rears are pretty quiet in most all situations.

Does this noise indicate a problem or is it just noise?

What are some ways to calm this sound (to be like the rest of the suspension)?

Also I am not familiar with adjusting ride height/firmness. I do have the keys but haven't really messed with anything yet.

The parts on my car are: D2 Coilovers, Stillen FSTB, and stock 16s

bump stops are in? all bearings and bushings on? spring seated properly? eveythings in line? if its a clunking metal on metal noise, just grap some lithium grease and slap it on where the spring sits and up top.

if you arent familiar with adjusting ride height and damping, i suggest you read up on it because suspension parts are one the most important pieces of a car.
