Don't worry too much about it. There are not really any bumps and potholes in NY.

Look into spacers or raise it up a bit.

Here are your options:
1. raise the car up 1/4" at a time until the clunking stops (this was my solution)
2. cut holes in your shock towers
3. if you're running the traditional ball joint style adjustable camber kit, get rid of it and get the Skunk2 UCA camber kit. It is meant for slammed cars and allows for more suspension travel because it has a much flatter profile than the traditional ball joint kits.
