I would say you have a real problem there, time to take it off and inspect everything

It's probably something loose. When I had some springs installed on my Accord they forgot to tighten down something and that caused a clunking noise when I turned.

Pull the wheel off and torque everything down again. Sometimes a bolt that`s been taken off and re-installed lately can come loose.

It could be the spring is not properly seated in it's groove at the top or bottom or both. It could be that since you lowered it, a shock has gone bad (seems to happen quite often).

Like everyone else said, I'd take it back apart and put it back together again.

look for any leaks on the shock resorvoir

or you can just push down any corner of the car and then you've got a problem if the car bounces more than 1-2 times (but this is not very accurate).
