i took it to a friend's friend's shop and they said that the progressive spring rate of eibach is to blame. They said that it is quite common esp on accords where the body weighs a good amount. They said that as u go over big dips like the speed bump, the spring coils are so close together that they hit each other. That is why you cant hear them on small road bumps. I took off my wheel and placed the rubber sleeves on the coil a bit more closer to each other and it is kind of gone but still audible.

MY SOLUTION: go very slow on speedbumps. Then, i'll have no problems what so ever. Thanks all for helpin out and thanks to TYPE SH for bringing this issue up at H-T.com.
going over a speed bump isnt an often thing for me..... i can hear it clunking over those stress lines etc... in the road. mines more of a rattling noise over road defects.
