just lowered...wierd noise now

just put my skunks on. First time driving it I'm hearing a thinking noise. Car feels smooth besides the noise. Is this normal, are the springs just settling? Oh also this is a 08 fit sport MT.

yes. teh rear springs make rubbing sounds more like springy sounds if you have lowering springs and a swaybar. BUT, this is not an issue with skunk2 coilovers.
