Default Clunk when coming off brakes?

Hello, ever since I bought my S2000 a couple months ago I have been getting a clunk when coming off harder braking. It is a pretty loud clunk. It also happens less often when starting from a complete stop. I was sure it was the axle nuts but today I took them both off then torqued them to 220 ft lbs. The clunk is still there and I am out of ideas. Please help. Thanks.

Are you doing anything else when the clunk happens (using clutch, moving shifter, etc.)? Have you inspected your brakes at all?

I have inspected the rear brakes and found nothing out of the ordinary. Sometimes the clutch is in sometimes is it out

struts bad? I know I seem to make right turns into driveways more frequent than left and now my left strut shaft pretty much wiggles, and the fluid has leaked a bit. all the weight hits that corner strut going up at the angle. and i hear that little clunking too

I got exact same clunk. I noticed it few weeks ago, checked front end, all tight. Its doing it at slow speeds. It will do it from stand still coming to a stop or visa versa. I think i also heard it when i had the wheel turned and was pulling into the driveway. Car is lowered with coilovers.
