Tapping noise after installing coils

Everytime the road is rough or bumpy, it seems like there is something tapping on the front right wheel. I took it apart, analyze it over and over. After many conclusion nothing seems to be loose. It doesnt sound like a clunking noise or a bad coilover. Just something tapping. Anyone have any idea?

Did you cut the bump stops?
You could have a bad bearing plate which would cause that.

Make sure the perch hole and top mount holes line up. If they are not inline, they will make that noise. (Number 23 in that link).

spring bind... I have had it ever since putting aftermarked coilovers on the evo. Search spring bind and you'll find many who have had this same issue/noise.

I got the JIC flt-a2 coils over, do they have those line up marking? I forgot to look.

No, check the spring perches. Make sure the correct tension (per manufacture requirements) is right.

Cant really find any data on jic suspension, nor a install thread. I installed the suspension wrong, could be because the camber plate is facing downward.
