I installed rear koni str shocks. One is knocking over bumps. I used the new mounts it came with. Does that mean the shock is no good? I really hate i wasted money on these. They seem a bit worse than the stock shocks. Over bumps and my tire rubs the wheel well now. Should i return these? What's a good shock that's a little bit stiffer?

Either the shock is defective (not impossible) or there was an installation error. Not that it's rocket science to install rear shocks, but it's always possible to make a stupid mistake when doing something simple. Is the upper nut fully snugged down? Were all the grommets properly placed? If the shock is bad, it should be warranteed out for replacement. No need to look to different shocks. These should perform as expected unless something is wrong.
