For me it was popping when i was turning also. So i got in contact with whiteline, they sent me a replacement set of top mounts. I think i had bad bearings. Installed new set and no sounds, smooth as butter. Did about 100 miles so far and still good. On the old set, when i spin the bearings it wasn't smooth. The new ones were. Not saying you have bad bearings but thats something to consider. Lets see what Myles think first.

Just talked to Myles. He was extremely helpful. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that Whiteline has put out a bad batch of Com-C top mount bearings and/or there is a washer required for BRZ specific installs in between the black top spring perch and the top mount. Not sure but since it's been reported that the stock top mounts aren't making any noise with the RCE kit then the burden of proof is definitely on Whiteline's shoulders.
Now I'm waiting for Whiteline's NA office to open at 12pm ET so I can call them. |

Yea... clunking in the rear now. It was fine the first day or so after I took it back to have the springs correctly installed.

Just spoke with Jan @ Whiteline US and emailed him my RCE sales invoice to have new Com-C's sent to me. Hopefully I will have them by the end of the week, but who knows. Really hoping that the new ones will be quiet. I don't want to disassemble my struts multiple times to troubleshoot this.

Those with the clinking...did you use the proper tool to remove and install the top nut without spinning the strut/shock shaft? If not you likely damaged the strut/shock internally which is causing the clunk...
Or one of these and the proper sized allen works too:

GearWrench vortex pass-through sockets are my favorites. You'll have to kill me to take them from me. Every shadetree mechanic should have a set.

Has anyone installed the Whiteline rear camber adjustment kit/bushings themselves? If so, how did you remove the stock bushings? I'm pretty sure those are close to impossible to get out by hand and will require a very powerful tool to remove them.
