With spring rates as high as you're running, and with how much thread you have left on the shock body, it doesn't seem likely to me that you're bottoming.

I have MCS 1-ways and also sometimes hear a clunk from the rear in street driving when entering briskly into bumpy or inclined 90 degree turns. On my car it sounds like it's coming from the inside rear on such turns. To me, it sounds like something is moving inside the shock body.

I could have sworn that I read somewhere on here a while back that the clunk in the rear was due to the internal construction of the MCS rear shocks, and that it was normal and harmless. But I can't find the post(s) regarding this issue. Maybe other MCS owners can chime in.

In my case, the clunk isn't frequent or annoying enough (yet) to get me to contact MCS and ask them about it. But I imagine they'd be the best ones to ask. I've emailed them in the past about other stuff and they've always replied promptly.
