probably hitting the bump stops.
How much do you have it lowered?

The noise is coming from the back-end..right? If it is then it's your spring hitting against pillar mount. I have the same problem. What's happening is the coilover is much shorter than the strut/shock, so when the rear wheel goes into a dip, the gap is created between the spring and upper mount (rubber piece), when the wheel goes back up, the spring hits either the rubber part or the bottom part (where it sits on the strut/shock). So don't worry about a thing https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

A "loud bang" sounds pretty scary... but I get constant clicking noises and possibly "little bangs" whenever I go over potholes and such... I think it's normal for anyone with coilovers or springs...
