Default Coilover question quicky

Hi just fitted coilovers on my wrx impreza and I noticed that when I'm on my own and go off a speed hump some times the back shock goes bang? Have I got the spring screwed up to high and need to let a little strain off??

Possibly, Are the rear top mounts sitting correctly?
What coilovers?

More like the spring isn't pre-loaded enough?

Hi chaps there brand new they are raceland shocks and springs so if it isn't loaded enough then I need to take the spring up to make it stiffer ??

There's a thread on here all about raceland coilovers, might be some info on there. The seem to have rather 'mixed' reviews.
