The control arm is hitting the top...
Either cut your strut towers or take the kit off. It's usually more of a pain to have a front camber kit on our cars if your real low.
Do some searching on cutting the strut towers.

This is happening to my car since my camber kit install also.... I was gonna try bump stops.. There's a thread on here already.. I don't know how effective it is but I'd prefer using bump stops than cutting strut towers....

The bump stops just make you have even less clearance but it wouldn't make the banging sound... but it would still hit.

Yeah you'll need to cut your towers. It's really not a big deal

Plus it can look pretty damn cool

Or you guys could just raise your cars since it means you're bottoming out your shocks when your control arms hit...
