Default clunking noise after lowering coilovers 0.5 of an inch

ok so i just recently installed a set of coilovers. i used to have swift spring on. when i first installed the coils i was pretty much in the same neighborhood as the swift ( i dont know how i came so close to the swift ride height but i did after doing some math): about 1.5 to 2 fingers gap between tire and fender. i drove the car around and never heard any noise whatsoever. basically, the car was driving perfectly. then i decided the car could drop a little more so i dropped the front 1/2 inch and the rear 1/4 inch. i took it for a spin and started hearing some noise coming from the front passenger side when going over bumps at lower speed. i was thinking it had something to do with sway bar/ end links? maybe the sway bar is stretched out or something from the car being too low? maybe a lose bolt? i triple checked all my work before putting everything back together so i highly doubt its a lose bolt.
