Does anyone with STaSIS-Ohlin motorsport susp have any 'clunking' in the rear?

Uh Oh.....

So it never was the DRC ... pliers bouncing in the trunk? ;^)
 
Check the pressure in the canisters. Make sure it hasn't bled off for some reason.

Best bet is to call the folks who sold the suspension to you. They should be able to identify failure mechanisms. Really could be any number of things; loose swaybar mount, broken this, loose that .... you get the picture. Not necessarily the shocks.

yep... I still have them at residential speed
 
I had one of my local shops check it out... they weren't able to find the source. They checked with Stasis and were told it is a known issue that hasn't been resolved.

I'm living with it since the car behaves so much better than with the enfeebled DRC.

I haven't tried softening things up on the rear struts yet to see if that helps. Still running about 80% of full stiff all around.

I don't remember hearing Randy W. complain about this on his car.

I think mine is from the right rear - no effect on performance, just the noticeable sound. I tried
 
softer setting, no change. I am about to stiffen the rears to close to about 90 pcnt. I think I have softer springs than you do - iirc you have 750 lbs? - I have 650 all around.

DRC had failed, no question about that - the performance spoke for itself. I am
 
referring now to a sound rather than a performance issue here - the STaSIS set-up is great, a big relief from the dealer's failed attempts to repair the DRC. Post DRC failure/repair, the suspension was mushy; it cornered like a Camry and bounced around like your grandfather's Caddy. Now I am once again smiling when I drive the car.

Sensitive are we? Just kidding about the pliers.

LIRS6 08-12-2007 03:58 PM

I wish it were just pliers!

very interesting - I have a well-functioning DRC but the clunking at
 
residential (sub-40 mph) speeds over brick paved roads

Mine sounds more like the driver's side...
 
and I'm beginning to think the problem is inside the car... like to problem that no-dot had mentioned with the bolt securing the lock-beep horn between the body shell and the trunk liner. There seem to be lots of bits back there that could be loose enough to make some noise.

I have the 700# springs on my car. Still feels terrific. I ran an autox with SCCA yesterday in the GT3 and on the way home got to thinking the RS6 needs some of that.
