Default Problem with tein suspension?

i recently installed tein coilovers. right after the install i noticed this rattling sound. everything is tight and i even readjusted the spring rate. it would be a great help if any suspension gurus could help me out with what it might be.

a constant clicking? I sometimes hear that sound in reverse on my driver side rear. I heard it was a common sound from the diff area. I'm not sure if that's the same sound you're hearing though.
