on my buddy clubs i get that same clunk, and it bloody annoying, and i cant find wot it is.

as regards to the stiffness, i'm sure you can adjust the shock stiffness, did you get any instructions?

clunk could either be the cv joints or the front anti roll bar hitting off the wishbone due to the anti lift kits - some of them

mine only started when i lowered the car, but also could be something not tight on the actual coilovers as well

my uk starlet seems to do it just on lowering springs too for some reason!?!?

its fairly loud on the GT and its to do with the coilovers, didnt do it to start with though. i think it may be to do with the spring moving or something?

kinda like a creaky/clicky noise on mine!?!? it is hard to explain.

does sound like the spring twisting then unloading.

i think its becuase of the way the springs seat that allows them to twist. this coupled with the fact that dirt and shit gets between the spring and seat and makes it make dodgy noises

i get a noise that i can only describe as a spring unloading (like yous have said) from the BACK of my car when i hit a bump at speed (you know, change in road surface or something) or if i go round a corner with a bit of pace...

wierd

well not if your going over a bump its a different curcumstance, would be nice if dave b could put some input in to see if he has experienced it as he sells them?
