Could be blown struts, could be bad endlinks, could be an improper spring install, really can't say much else with your post.

Dealer won't do anything about it since your suspension is modified

Did you align the spring coil on the seat of the shock properly? How many miles are on the car?

Apparently progress springs for this car have noise issues. Never heard it on any other cars but that's what I read a few minutes ago.
