Old thread I know but OP, have you found out what the issue was and if so, how you solved it? I think my Z has the same issue. I can hear this sort of thudding noise around the front passenger area as well when coming to a slow stop only. Symptom is not present when braking at highway speeds or coming to sudden braking.

I honestly don't know how I did myself. I'm kind of getting desperate in solving this annoying issue so maybe my instincts kicked in and just looked for keywords while searching.

So for those of you who care, turns out it was the SPL camber arm on the passenger side. I'm not sure how I would go about fixing it yet but at least now I know what it is and that it's not immediate.
