Sumpins loose up there.
Gotta find it before you do some serious damage.
Are the springs in upside down?
That will do what you are describing.
BTW, the caster/camber plates will have lots more NVH
than the soft OEM ones. Maybe thats what you are hearing?
Coils bottoming out on each other is not normal despite
what BMR is telling you. The jounce bumper should take
effect before the coil goes into full bind...
You did leave the OEM jounce bumpers in or transfer
them to your new strut/spring/caster plates, didnt you?

Noise
Harshness
Vibration
The jounce bumper is on the strut rod under the upper strut mount bearing.
It keeps the spring coils from binding over hard bumps.
Casper/Chamber plates will increase NVH considerably.
Put a zip tie on the strut rod next to the strut body.
Go for a super drive and hit some super bumps.
Check to see if the zip ties have been moved all the
way up the rod and are now next to the bottom of
the CC plates. This is the area where the jounce
bumpers are suppost to be.
