if not the control arm bushings check your suspension. Make sure there is something either between your springs and any other metal. I know a gasket on my ksports went on me and wiggled out and i had the same low speed noises. I just pushed it back in and tightened up the spring a bit and BAM silence

I'm reviving this thread. I had the exact same clunking noise as OP on my passenger side front. I thought it might be the spring not set properly. I just replaced everything with some Stance coilovers. I still have the clunking noise. I thought it might be a ball joint. There is no play in the wheel. I am positive that all of the bolts are tight on the coilovers, and nothing seems to be loose anywhere on the sway bars.
WTF THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!
Anyone have any other suggestions?

Nevermind I think I found it. It's a bad lower control arm bushing
Update: yes it was the lower control arm bushing in the front, rear position. It's now fixed, and I'm happy
