I have just put Eibach Pro spring kit in my AU and I am now getting a knocking noise everytime I go over a bump (doesn't matter if it is a small or a big bump)
My car is non-IRS, has anyone had this issue before?

Not the exhaust moving round on hangers? Loose bolt?

it will be the rear shocker lower bolts
the knocking is a common thing on e series too after replacing shocks or springs. you need to do them up super tight. use a decent 6 point (6 flats inside) impact socket and a long breaker bar on one side and a big spanner on the other.

Sorry to say guys you were all wrong, busted rear shock. Didn't even last a week after putting the new springs in.
New Monroe GT shocks which is for lower springs. I wanted Monroe GT Sport, but they don't make them for non-irs model. Such a better ride and no kocking noise
