I'm running the Vorshlag rear shock mounts with the bearing perches to eliminate binding.
I heard the clunk a handful of times -coming from the outside rear, when the right side of the car was loaded up in a left hand turn which serves as the transition from downhill to uphill. If I was off line a little, there is a bump approaching / at the apex and if I would hit it - clunk. So basically the totally wrong time to hit the bump - loaded right side, headed uphill, rolling on throttle transferring weight to the rear. This led me to believe that the spring and damper were just overwhelmed as all the load was all going to that right rear corner...
Something is making contact under these conditions, and it sounded harsh a few times.

Hey mate yeah I have he same setup with the bearing plate (as yours). I let it be as is knowing the clunk will be a standard issue. Go over through the car one more time to ensure everything is solid and tight. Car is at the shop but I believe we ended up with helper spring which helped a fair bit.
Cheers!
