Default Mystery clunk/pop

Following brand new items have just been installed within less that 1k miles...

All control arms (Febi-Bilstien)
Shocks (Koni Sport)
Springs (Vogtland)
H-sport Sways
OEM Belly Pan

I'm getting an intermittent clunk/pop sound that seems to be coming from the Driver's side wheel. It's totaly random, not cyclical, doesn't necessarily occur when hitting a bump. Everything appears to be in line, the new belly pan was trimmed to accomodate for the H-sport, no part of it is making contact with the sway bar and the front sway bar WAS installed under load.

I'm completely out of ideas on this one but I suspect it might be related to the front H-sport.

Any ideas??

Default Possible issue with the H-Sport bushings perhaps? Speaking of H-sports, does anyone...

know if they come in different colors? I keep seeing that H-Sport ad at the top of the page that shows blue sway bars. Just curious...

Default IIRC, the original color was blue, but black was made available around the time the H-Sports

became available for C5s and that's all we've seen since then.

Have you checked to ensure the bolts into the ends of the front sway bar are tightened all the way?
