bumpstops?

I recently lowered my 97 3.0 CL with suspension teq sport springs and it dropped it about an inch and a half. The problem is my rears are making mad nose. I swapped out the struts with just some cheeseball monroes, and have taken it to the shop twice with the final diagnoses being I need a camber kit. They say the control arms are whats making the "bump" noise. I've already cut the bumpstops, and the struts look like they have a good 3-4 inches of movement. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

thanx guys

Yeah I thought that could be it too, although it wasnt bumping at all with the stock springs/struts.

ive got the same exact springs.. i havent had any problems with them.. however if your lower part of the spring is not seated in the correct part of the perch you will get a bump from the springs compressing against each other.. also check to make sure you have a bushing on BOTH sides of the firewall on top. you did reuse the plastic liners for the perch and top of the strut right? i just took out my bump stop all togather after i installed my kyb's. i love these springs by the way. i get a stock like ride with bein alittle lower.
