I have KW V2 coilovers and those were the culprit for me w/ the clunking. Those bushings are not part of your coilovers. I've actually had that clunking sound in the rear prior to upgrading to coilovers. I thought getting coils would solve my issue but turns out it was those shock mount bushings.

Your talking about the shock mount that connects to the rear knuckle right? That other post you said to replace the shock absorber thing that goes on the OEM suspension i believe. PBMs have the pillowball mount.
But i already checked the rear shock mount bushings, they arent cracked, no play but i guess i can try that, its cheap, maybe the rubber is old thus making noise.
