Default Front suspension numbness / noise

I'm lowered on GF210s, Stock shocks (Soon to get some coilovers) but I need some thoughts on why my car is acting the way it is before I actually purchase coil overs, in case I need to fix something...

Whenever I enter a driveway or whatever road that isn't level with the ground and has an incline or a bump in order to get in / out, and my wheel is fully turned one way or near full lock, my front end makes a slight clunk noise and I can definitely feel it go numb or whatever it is for a split second in my steering wheel.. Is this normal for a dropped car or is something wrong with my car? Opinions welcomed, thanks! It seems to happen everytime I pull into a driveway or pull out, and since I angle my car I can feel the clunk whenever I enter or exit... (Reversing out clunks at full lock when the pavement changes angle / drops off)

stock everything but the gf210s... I wonder if its the spring moving, or if its the same problem as my e46 328i its front control arms / bushing, but I highly doubt it because under braking / cornering it still is very stable / consistent. The only time I feel the clunk is under driveways when full locked to the left or right.
