Default added rear coil overs now have funky noises

I updated my susp but something isn't quite right. It seems the driver's side rear "feels" like
it bottoms out when hitting any aggressive bump in the road. It's also possible that I'm just not used to
the new coil overs but it felt like my teeth were gonna fall outta my head!
The car feels great when launching from a stop (no tire rub/no metal on metal noise etc).

Front sits at 26 1/2" from ground to bottom lip of fender
Rear sits at 27 1/2" from ground to bottom of quarter panel
Shocks were set at 6

Setup: BMR chromoley/tubular everything, Spohn rear coil overs w/ QA1 12 ways/150lb springs,
17x11's with 295/45/17, no bump stops, 12 bolt

Anyone else experience the same?
How low does your ride sit?

*Car is M6 and runs deep 11's prior to change

The BMR swaybar was hitting the TA girdle on my 12 bolt...
firmed up the shocks from 6 to 9 and problem went away
