    Clunking noise from the rear....

    It only happens when i launch my car... I noticed it when i took it to the track..
    I was doing some reading. And i think its my rear shock bushings, or? I saw that AKG and ireland sells kits to reinforce the rear shock towers and comes with new bushings... My question is, is this what i need to fix my clunking noise? and which kit do you guys recommend?
    And input/advice appreciated! thanks! oh btw i have a H&R cup kit.. i dont know if that makes a difference in which kit i need...

        well the best way to explain it is, its kinda or maybe it is wheel hop?
        but it hops so bad it sounds like the rear end is gonna fall off... so maybe the bushings are bad? car only has 90K on it.

                the inability to search astounds ... this topic ends up creating a new thread twice a month. all of you make me sick.
