Is there any dangers in going TOO low on a full coilover?

I just bought some JIC Magic Coilovers, and the front right now is pretty low, the front wheels are a little tucked, but driving ability is not a problem around my way, roads are ok for that.

The back is no wheel gap, but when driving around i hear a clunking around the right trunk area, like a soccer ball or something is bouncing around in my trunk, what could that noise be? Is that normal?

And is there a such thing as too low on G35s? Because i had other cars in the past, for instance a civic with their double wishbone suspension if you go too low in the front, the A-arms hit the engine bay metal by the shock towers.

Thanks again for any future input!

shounds to me that something is loose may be the top nut on the shock, would produce a popping noise, hard to diagnose when not there
