Are you familiar with the sounds that a body makes bouncing around in your trunk? Perhaps I should get a buddy of mine to lay in my trunk as corner at 30mph...

Anyways, check out your CV boots/joints. The boots are locates at under the car near your front wheels, and are rubber boots filled with grease and such... CV = Constant Velocity... Check that the boots are in good soft plyable condition, and that they are not torn... Also, I have heard when swapping springs that sometimes people get that knocking sound and have to go back and either align the spring in the seat better, or add some sort of foam peice to give it more of a seat to seat under and on top of... They sell em at like Pep Boys... Spring spacers I think...

bearing

there should be a gray and black donut shaped bearing that is intended to enable smooth and quiet turning of the wheels. if that bearing is destroyed, or worse yet, missing, you will get horrible noises from your coilover setup... at least i did with my GCs when i destroyed one of those bearings by not having it properly seated when i lowered the car off jacks once. you can purchase this bearing from nissan dealerships, its $20. its called the Strut Mount Bearing.

Go and buy some new struts. I suggest you get Koni.
