Top nuts most likely need to be torqued down.

I second this. I had a similar issue to OP initially after I installed the coilovers, used an impact gun on the top bolts and it solved the problem.

I've read almost 4 threads on this same issue with multiple coilovers. Can almost guarantee its your top strut bolt. Allen key (to stop the strut from spinning) and pass through wrench (tighten the bolt) will be your best friend. Once you have it tightened down, use the torque wrench to make sure its at 41lbs (if i remember correctly). This solved all of my clunking issues. Good luck!
