RS*R Sport-i Clunks

Anyone else experiencing metallic clunks/pops with these coils after install?
I'm hearing clunks from my rear-passenger side usually when I right-lock turn going forward, backing up, or just going up and down driveways...

I was always under the impression that these were the 'quiet' coilovers. If you dont find any loose nuts check your endlinks maybe..

double check to see if everything's been torqued down?

Went to the shop yesterday and they took apart the coilover and put everything back in place. The engineers said that they torqued down everything and couldn't pinpoint where the sound was coming from.
Not too worried at this point, but if it gets louder and problematic, I might just ask the shop to get me a replacement.
Thanks for the advice.

If the noise clunk is still there, check to make sure that the height adjustment lower collar is not loose. From my understanding, the noise is most likely coming from the loose adjustment collar.
