Are they "proven"? not sure but they look to be an excellent design.

I am not really sure what you mean by "completely proven" but I went with BMR LCAs because of their strength, quality, and company reputation.

Here is a pic of my setup.

nice suspension!

ugh, can't wait to figure out if this is my problem or not, going to throw the stock ones back on these weekend and see.

just beat a twin turbo 350z though still convinced the only imports worth owning are evos / stis...

Wish you the best man... I'm sure the stocker LCA's will correct your problems.

When it comes to imports worth owning I'm kinda wanting one of these little "bastards" lol.

I ran one a few weeks ago that was putting down as much hp as me with a 2200lbs chassis weight. arghhhhhh!!!

Because the rear end is changing position when you have the clunking, something is either loose or a bushing is loose/missing/broken.
if it was the driveshaft or gears or something, it wouldn't wiggle on you, just clunk.

If one of the lca's moves, it would cause what you are describing. The panhard, I would check it, too; check ALL 3 bolts on/near the panhard bar to make sure they are tight, too. (when the panhard bolts were tightened, was the car at stock height or lifted? Same for lca's. Tighten at normal ride height!)

Clunking could also be caused by a loose shock, too.
But lca bushings or panhard bar would be the first places I look; and check the torque on all bolts!

If i put the stockers back on and i still have the problem... what else do you guys think it could be?

if it was the driveshaft...what part of the driveshaft would go bad? Or is it just the pinion flange that would go bad?
