Default stance gr+ drivers rear metal rattle?

Okay. So I went as low as i can on my rear suspension (Stance Gr+ True Type) today. I've done it before..drove like that for half a year..raised it back up etc. But i ended up maxing out my rears again..and while on the freeway i started to hear alot of metal to metal rattling. Unbearable.
This problem is only on the drivers side rear. i have heard that stance true type coils are pretty noisy.

I also do have a stripped trunk so it can be alot louder..but yeah ..right now is ridiculous. sounds like something is loose just hitting ****. so annoying.

i also noticed oil looking on my springs/shock tower..i was told i might need to replace my shocks soon too.
i also had a buddy of mine go in my trunk n just start jumping/bouncing on the right side and the noise would still come from the left.

i saw this thread on clunks etc and my problem seemed somewhat similar.

and also noticed this.

i do remmeber having a similar problem on the passengers side too in the rear.
i really never payed attention to any of it till now. i ended up adding a little nut on the left as you can see but it seems pretty fckd up for some reason.

i dont know its because i recently started running 18x12 +4 in the rear .. but i've seen others with more aggressive w/o problems..

if you guys have ANY info i can use to fix this asap that'll be great. if you guys can help me out too..thatd be great. i'm in SoCal. i work 40 miles away from home so i'm usually doing 80-90mph 4-6 days a week. it is my daily driver and i feel like those 40 miles will be hell!

teach me, advise me..whatever! thanks guys

thats ironic as my little nut is on the left too.


jk..

id say to check the collars themselves... if you have open spoked wheels, you can usually grab them while the cars on the ground and see if theres any play in the collars.... mine had a horrific clunking sound like something was ready to fall apart.. all it needed was a better turn of the collar. I will say however that i run the LX and not a true coil... hmm.. that may change this ..

dunno mang, theres my 2 cents.. im sure youll get more.
