I know what's wrong!
JoJo, I had the EXACT problem the night I put my HA's on. Here is what I found........
The TEINs come with a cream colored rubber bumper for the rear coilovers. This needs to be replaced! The rubber bumper is too small and will slip through, yes slip through the rear strut (or whatever goes into the trunk part of the car). Therefore, the "knocking" sound comes from the lack of dampening of the rear coilovers.
To fix this problem, you'll need to take out both rear coilovers, take out the cream rubber bumper and use your stock GS bumper (black colored) that was on the rear originally. The stock rubber bumper is thicker than the TEIN, which gives more padding.
I hope this helps!

thanks guys!
I looked at them, it has the stock bushing on and it came with the so-called "one way" bolts which can't take them out after installed. is there any ways to take the top bolts out?
thanks!
