Last time I rotated my tires I had lowered it down some more, which I frankly had completely forgot haha b/c I didn't drive my car much at school. Still though, I don't remember it clunking at all till the last few weeks so that's still confusing but oh well.

When the car was jacked up I also put one of the wheels back on and gave it a few spins... definitely some clicking from the passenger's side CV (I was wrong on that too, sounded like it was coming from the driver's side). BUT when I put the car back down and drove it around the neighborhood I didn't hear any clicking so my only thought on that was by raising the car I took some of the stress off of the CV axle. Granted its still going to need replaced but with the car raised up a bit its doesn't seem to be something I need to fix asap.

But yeah I'm frustrated w/ the coilovers. I'm on tein ss coilovers, and if I lower it back down to where I like it, then I'm going to have to put up with the clunking noise b/c the springs aren't long enough to reach the perches if I lower them any more.
