Angry Noisy Suspension setup. Help

I have skunk2 sleeve springs on my 99 civic coupe. It's quiet as hell up front but the rears are always making a small amount of noise. It's not loud at all, just audible enough to DRIVE ME CRAZY!!!! My dampeners are all fine, everything is properly torqued, I have no clearence issues and no there isn't any loose shit in the trunk. It's making me hate my car. I get so pissed off every time I drive it. I have it up on the lift every other night trying to figure out what the hell is going on back there. Could the springs be moving on the perches? I changed the position of the springs by rotating them 90 degrees or so and the noise changed slightly. My friends think I'm crazy because it's such a quite sound but I hear it and I want to kill it.

Any suggestions??

Thanks guys!!

Drive fast!!

From everyone that I've asked coil-over sleeves like skunk2 and ground control,etc. are just noisy. Supposedly true coil-over systems and springs are quieter, but I'm not sure how much. Another thing, civics just aren't quiet cars.
