It's not the top nut either. Hmm so now only leaves as something is internally or no other options. But how could both rear coils make the noise at the same time? weird. Also today I noticed couple time when turning left one made same noise, but only 2 times.

Just FYI... I've had this same sort of noise... And I've had 3 completely difference suspension setups on my car. The second I lowered my Accord I had the noise.

Lowered on Factory (for 2 weeks)
H&R Race on KYB AGX (for a year)
Progress on Koni Yellows, since last summer.

Nothing was "re-used", every part had new top plates, bushings, etc. I've come to the conclusion that it's the lower arms - probably a bushing that has binded or worn out causing the metal on metal clunk. I drive my car on the track - and I always do bolt checks before I hit the track.

Nothings loose.

I've never done a video - but looking at yours... upper arm is hitting the frame / inner fender.

Hmm, that's interesting, because I had 2 different set-ups before and they were dead silent. Once I got coils, bam started hearing this noise.

Have you raised the car back to factory height??

Every Accord owner who has lowered their car that I have spoken with - has SOME sort of noise.

His noise is coming from the rear. It just sounds like something is loose.

The noise you are talking about is the upper control ark noise.
