I forgot...please tell me this is normal.

So Ive been lowered on Skunk2s for about 6 months now...I let my buddy do the rear springs when we did it. Ever since then though the right rear would make a rubbing noise at slow speeds and bumps., so I check it out and realize he put them on upside down!!! So just last week I went out and fixed them, ever since then they have been making clunking/pooping noises. I havnt driven the car more then a mile since then because I had to put new wheels on which i just finished up today and there still doing it. Please tell me the rear springs are just settling!!! I think I remember them doing it when we first installed them for a couple days, but im not 100% sure.

you have them installed with the tighter coils towards the top, right? sometimes the "skunk2" logo is printed upside down. do you have the rubber spring seats installed correctly?
