problem with suspension, weird load pop with GC's

1.my back right wheel made a large weird pop the other day. I have ground controls and am lowered 2.25 with agx's. It sound like the spring compressed and popped. something i have never heard of. when i looked there was nothing different. ANY IDEAS????

2. Also, do i have to another alignment when I raise her back up for winter?

The pop is normal if you had just recently had that corner of the car off the ground. If you aren't careful putting the rears down, the very end of the coil won't seat properly in the aluminum top hat, and will be compressed on the skinny inner part of the top hat rather than the broader flat part where its supposed to be. When you hit a bump or turn just right to load that corner in a certain way, it will "pop" back into place (the way it SHOULD be seated) with a loud bang.
