Clunking Noise

My cars been making some clunking noise on the driver side, Seems like its coming from the wheel well. I checked my Helix coilovers but nothing seems to be loose....and that noise is just driving me crazy. I can kinda feel it wen my left foot is resting on that rubber thing on the left of ur clutch pedal. (dont know what's it call).

HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM?

I've had clunking sounds. Mine was my RSB was loose. You should check to make sure your FSB/RSB/endlinks are on tight.

Lift the car in the air and look around see if there's anything loose.

Diagnoise it first, think back to when the noise first appeared. Have you worked on the car before the noise appeared? If you have, go back and check the parts you've worked on and make sure everything's tight.

I have the same annoying clunking noise, cant remember when it first started as I've changed a lot of suspension parts. atm im on koni's, 400lb gc springs, and a sport alk. I've checked it so many times and everything seems to be perfect and tightented to spec, so I'm kinda lost on what to do.
