Damn... Sorry to hear about your situation CYan... wish i could help... Ive installed coilovers on 2g Eclipses, VIS/WEAPON-R/MAXSPEED/SKUNK and mine GCs... ive never heard any clanking noise other than when i go sideways on a steep drive way and the struts will stretch max and the springs will fall and land back on the tower perch... Same goes for the people ive installed struts on... Although skunkworks coilovers do have some clanking sound but i think thats cuz of the metal top cover... hmm... wish you lived close by so i can personally look into your suspension...
