Default klunking in suspension

i have a 94 civic cx hb. i have sohc greddy turbo and run 13.552@101mph i dono how many hp @whells prolly about 145-160 anyways,
susupension setup stock struts and trnzo r 2.25 drop springs the fronts are cut 1 coil off.
cause when i bought the springs and put them on the front was hella high and back was droped corectly i think tenzo messed up and put the FRONT spring sticker on the wrong springs anyway i had 2 cut 1 coil off the front to make it even. the springs ride fine. i run 2.19 60 ft. et on stock tires but i have polyurathane motor mount inserts. my car (under boost or dropping the clutch har on take off) klunks in the front suspension and sometimes while cornering har and drifting all pressure on 1 wheel.
any sugestions on what it is i just dont want my wheel 2 fall off or nutting hehehehe. thanx latterzz

i would take off the wheels and look at the suspension closley and do it piece by piece and see if every thing is tigh every bolt all the ball joints, and so on. but the problem could be just as simple as wheel hop, do you have lsd or not?


GOOD LUCK I HOPE I HELPED SOME

i have taken apart suspensin several times and sorry but its on wheel hop it is hard 2 explain. but very annoying.
when i had coilovers (skunks) for a week it did not do it i think i just should try new springs i hate tenzo R

I also have the same problem, I have a 2nd gen integra with rev hard turbo kit. Anyways I get the same klunking noise whenever I accelerate hard and stop fast. I could not figure out what the heck it was, I found out it was a bad balljoint on the drivers side.

I would check your balljoints.

Sounds like your motor is torqueing against the firewall.

If it's only during hard launches, you might want to look into Z10 bars.
