Rough Ride and Bad clank noise from rear

Hey not sure if anyone out there can give me some input on this but here is my issue....

I have terrible handling in my car.....running on 18 inch rims with 225 35s the handling sucks....

Car is on coilouvers and has been dropped about 2 inches with no other suspension modifications....

When I hit a bump in the road the car feels like it is just gonna take off....cannot let go of the wheel at all....

Then to boot the Rear passenger side keeps banging but I cannot see anything touching....so I replaced the stut in the coilouver and it stopped but started again...

My question is where the heck do I start to fix this problem?

Do I need to install the camber kit?

Are my control arms shot?

I am at the point where I am just gonna throw back in the factory suspension and hope for the best on my 15 inch steelies...LOL

HELP

sounds like a strut, mount more than likely. possibly a bushing in the lower control arm. has it done it since u put the coilovers in???

what kind of banging are you hearing? is it a bang like the sound when you go over a dip and the tire drops... a lot of the time when you drop your car depending on the condition of the top hats the bushings could go in the top hat and that will cause a banging noise when you go over a bump because its not held securely. something to check out anyway!

here is your problem.

your rim is to big
your coil overs are cheap
your shocks are blown.

to fix it.

get a better coilover system or strut and spring combo (NOT OEM ONES)
this way you can keep your rims.
