Exclamation Suspension Knocking??? HELP?????

Hey Sup Tuners well I was wondering does anybody know or anybody had have the same problem as I do, I just bought a 2005 Subaru WRX just a couple of weeks ago and the problem is that something keeps on Knocking under my suspension on all four sides, also the car came with some aftermarket Spings (Spring is called something 210 Japan and in color red) on them so I don't know what the last person did with it but when I just drive normal and also on small bumps it Knocks pretty bad got no idea what it is. I haven't really checked it yet but I want to know whats your guys sugestion about what it might be, can anybody HELP ME???

if its just springs, they probibly didnt tighten the nut on the very top of the struts like in your engine bay and trunk. if you go about this yourself you need to remove thewheels first off. then take a set of pliers or a wrench of some sort and i put rubber clamp covers off these things from home depot over the wrench. i then grabbed the strut(the shiny metal part under the boot) and had a friend tighten the middle nut of the strut. once you do this to all 4 you will have a "put together" suspension. if it keeps up u may have more problems i have no idea what but i am almost posative that is what is wrong. it happened to me with one of my struts when i lowered my wagon.
