blureds2k... i'm not too sure what you're refering to b/c the way you described it was rather confusing. i know in the rear we only have ONE sway bar (and to access it we must remove some of the trunk lining) yet you say you were toying w/something UNDER the car??? can you be a bit more specific?
vtecskunk... many recommended i get the konis... and since stock ride is rather stiff, and w/my car lowered it's even MORE stiff... i figured i'd need the konis sooner or later... thanks for further suggesting them!
i'll keep you guys posted!

Mine makes the same clunking with Konis and KG/MM super sport springs. Everything in the setup has been triple-checked. I just live with it.

I have not tried that - but I will. I only triple checked the bolts that I actually touched.

As soon as I try that out, I will post the results.

yeah i know the feeling. i had to live with it for like a month. then when i found out what to do, i felt like a idiot. just remember there are two bolts per side. pay attention to that upper one. that's where mine was loose.

lots of tightly wound springs will make these noises. That noise is why tein makes rubber wrapped coils
