southerncross is an unknown quantity at this point
sounds like camber plate bushing problem to me. i just bought some used stance coilovers and havent had this problem yet, but should be simple enough to fix. if theyre new id be raising hell about it.

this is NOT a common problem with coilovers that function correctly. that clunk you hear is the spring grinding against the upper mount. its supposed to turn with the steering, but if they bearing is fudged it wont, and it binds, making that wonderful clunk you refer to. i have done budget coilovers on an s13 before and had no upper strut bearing, and used industrial stainless washers in place of them. . . not recommended for street cars, and its a jank way to do things, but back in '98. . .
