hey man i was wondering, dont you bottom out when you go over speed bumps? Seems like you might be little lower than me becasue your tires actually tuck in, you have that much clearance opposed to me. I rub on driveways or bumps and scrap the heck out of the botton so i was wondering how it could be possible that you dont scrape as bad?

I am running the same coilovers as you, actually i am not sure if the noise you are describing is the same one i am experiencing. the one i hear is kinda like someone jumping up and down on a bed you can hear the springs or as stated before hydraulics. It seems to go on and off

I have the Gr+ the oem style rear spring and shock style and I get the clunking noise as well. Ive kinda just dealt with it I was told that it was a common thing with the oem style because its set low.

*UPDATE 2*

Well, I had the new upper pillowball mounts installed about 3 weeks ago, and also switched the two rear coilovers to the opposite sides that they were initially installed.
At first, everything was completely silent, until I went over a known area of road where it always made the clunking noise, and what do you know, it does it again. But this time it is from the left side (which was previously the coilover on the right side) now I know something is definitely wrong with the coil itself.

So the other day, while removing my "stuck" hubcentric rings, I decided to mess with the preload a bit, and take it back to the basic "snug" position.
Doing so, this caused the preload to lessen, and allow for much more shock travel, and in turn GOT RID OF THE CLUNK!!!!!

There is still some very very very minimal noise coming from the suspension, but i'm pretty sure that it's the normal sounds with coils. And i am currently waiting on my tires to be replaced so that the road noise can be deadened even further!
I am very very happy with the results I have gotten thus far, and am very relieved to finally have this noise issue done with! :crosses fingers:

Cliffs:
1. Coilovers Clunk
2. Replaced upper pillowball mounts
3. Slightly reduced clunking, but still clunked
4. Adjusted preload to "normal snug"
5. Problem Solved!!!

Stance GR+..... DD. I used to have it slammed but I raised front when I got the new body. Thinking of lowering more but barely clear my driveway and speedbumps clear by a finger. So not sure when i'll drop the front back down again.


^^ That used to be slammed on the front tire!

Bump from the dead. I have been trying to solve my rear end clunk for over 5 years. I think this may be a winner. Going to contact Stance tomorrow to see if they will provide new pillow-ball mounts.
