Help!! progress springs

I installed progress spring over the weekend and the car looks and feels great but theres a metal on metal sound coming the from the rear of the car every time i hit a pothole.
What can this be?
I went back to the shop and they looked at it and said everything is fine.
Help!!!

Possibly sway bar endlinks now hitting?

Look around for a 'rubbed' place and try having someone sit in the back or drive while you're back there.

good luck!

You let someone else install the springs? If so may be they didn't pu everything back where it belonged. On the part were the spring seats on the bottom of the spring there is rubber that seperates the spring from the strut. You might want to see if thats still there. LMK

Does it sound kinda like the top bolt on the tophat isnt all the way tight? Just sound like somethin is loose?
It's probbily the coils of the spring clankin together.
I had a Saturn with Eibach's that did it,
Had a VW with Neuspeed's that did it.
Slit a piece of rubber hose, slip it on to where it looks like the coils are hitting, you might have to adjust the position.
Good Luck
