Default Weird ticking/clicking from rear dash??? 2003 GT

So i have noticed this weird sound coming from my rear. sounds like its on the passenger side. i have lowered my car with the eibach sportlines. and so i thought it might be the shocks, because my old ones we rusty as hell so i just decided to change em out for new ones. thought for sure that was what the prob was. i also thought maybe a spring wasnt seated right so i checked both side pigtails were facing drives side.

so i didnt know anyone else has had or heard of a prob like this from a 03 gt???

There are two things commonly reported a causing odd rear-end noises:

One is the "quad shocks", the small horizontally mounted shocks that dampen the axle's radial motion;

The other is that the parking brake cable can creak and groan in its retainer. A squirt of WD-40 or similar is a temporary fix, better yet pull it back and apply some chassis grease.

Mine has been lowered a bit and it makes sounds whenever I hit a r sbump on th passengeide in the rear. Mine is coming from the exhaust pipe hittin at the top it use to make a rattling sound when i hit the gas pedal hard. I dont know if this is the same problem you are having but if it is unbolt the exhaust where the mid pipe meets the catback and tilt it a bit so the pipe want hit it. Mine only came back bc i changed my catback again and the welder set the muffler str8 intead of slightly cocked like i had it. Hope this helps a bit.

I saw that, however as the OP then spoke of spring installation and alignment I assumed he was talking about the rear-end--I have no idea of what part of the car qualifies as the "rear dash"--unless it's an odd reference to the package tray?
