yea, did you actually look at where both endlinks bolt up in the rear and see if the nuts on them were loose? if you did or didnt, id say look at all the other parts back there and see if its all tightened up. its definitely something in the rear suspension it sounds like. and since when you were turning (putting the sway bar under stress) in both videos, and in the last one going in your driveway (putting the sway bar under stress) thats what made me think it could be the sway bar endlinks.

did you try tighten it some more?
honestly i dont know how, and my friend said they look like they're tight on, but his best guess was that they're the end links...

I saw the end links and they looked fine, i'll go back and see what i can do.

Trunk monkey trying too escape??
what condition are your shock absorbers in as I've had a set in the back of one of my previous cars that would "clunk" much the same, also have you checked the upper arm bushes on the rear suspension (provided your rear suspension is much the same as a jdm one?)

does it knock when you turn both ways? when did it first start? have you had anything done to your car?

if you mean while in motion yes, it had knocked turning left and right. it started not even a week ago. and yea almost 2 months ago, I got my coilovers installed.

Im going to jack the car up now and check it out.

well, i checked eveything in the rear and made sure things were tight and its still going on. Im going to have to take off my wheels and get a good thorough inspection. any other ideas besides tightening and the end links?

Along with the endlinks, check the sway bar brackets, and other bolts in the suspension setup. Does it only occur on bumps? How slow can you go to elicit the sound? Would a person walking next to your car while you are driving it be able to tell where it's coming from?

yes it pretty much only occurs on bumps, it happens sometimes on turns but thats because i go over bumps on turns. it can be super slow, but as soon as i drive about 25 feet you'll hear it knock. yes a person walking next to it would be able to hear it. in fact, im hoping i can find someone to do that.
