Hey never thought of that! It would be great if it was that simple. I'll take a look this weekend and see if that cures it.

I had this problem with my old Stance coilovers, it was because the top nut was not screwed down tightly so thats why I always go this annoying clunking. Check and make sure they are snug!

So it appears that the top nut was indeed not as tight as it should be. Once I got it tightened up, the noise went away. The Borla exhaust was still on there as tight as the day I put it on; wasn't the culprit in my case, Thanks for the great advice all.

I might need to check the top nut on my BCR now too. I get that strange vibration/thumping noise under throttle on hard right turn.
