Default Are these sounds normal in coilovers?

I just got some Tein HE drift spec coilovers put in. I get weird noises of the rear gas shocks or whatever compressing and stuff. I can basically hear the shocks compressing on mild bumps. Is this normal? It only happens in the rear.

That's what was going on in my buddy's Accord Euro when he had Tein Flex fitted. Seems normal though.

You'll hear that on some shocks. Many cars do that right from the factory. As long as it doesn't change over time, I'd say it is normal.
