Try putting them in the other way (turn them upside down). When I put the first set of springs in mine I didn't pay attention to which way they came out and had to do the fronts again because of that.

Didn't you have them compressed 3 inches or something? They're probably bottoming out your shocks and/or your front swaybar is hitting some bolts at the front.

yeah, check they are installed correctly, they may not be sitting in the spring seat correctly, or might be upside down.

is the thud only when doing certain things? ie: turning sharply?

Shorter shocks is the only option. I'd be surprised if you had any suspension travel at all.
