clunking noise after lowering coilovers 0.5 of an inch

alright so today i re-tightened the already tight shock tower bolts thinking that overtightening them would fix it and i also tightened the spring perch. i tried moving the spring around but there is no play whatsoever. everything just seems to be tight no matter how you look at it. and still the clunking sound. still the same: it only happens at low speed going over select bumps/road imperfection. even the slightest road perfection triggers it. once again i say select road bumps. it doesnt happen over every single one otherwise that would be super annoying. i just try to ignore it hoping that it would go away once the spring settles. oh i forgot to mention its coming from the front driver side.
