I wouldn't think so.... Might be worth getting the car on some jack stands and jacking up the rear suspension and look/listen for anything strange as you compress and uncompress the shock

Funny enough I've been told by the EU dealer that the've had similiar issue with Clubsports for MX5 and after inspection at KW Germany apparently they got the coilovers back as working properly. Obviously I'll have them checked again but I kind of doubt that I'll find anything suspicious.

What does, "going through bumpstops" mean?

My bad - I meant speed bumps. Edited original post already
Honestly I'm not sure what to do with it further on. All suspension component has been checked for proper torque as well coilovers which are set just like manufacturer supplied manual suggested. Car is lowered just 20mm.
It's literally a sound that you can hear while standing near speed bump and car passes through it but in my case it's very clearly hearable inside cabin even with rear seats up. I was just wondering if it's even unusual for KW V3 style coilover.
