Have you tried them or know of someone that tried them w/ no improvement? I'm not talking about the clunk that the BC guys have been referring to, I'm talking about the washboard "clacking" w/ my coils which really seems like an isolation issue. Interested to hear why you think this isn't a possible step in the right direction.

Looks like there might be another option for the X~Might be just a rebranded BC/Megan set but at least it's there 
Ksport Adjustable Coilover Systems, Camber Kits and Suspension Products | Ksport Store
Looks to be in the $950 range from various vendors.

What I got back from BC
Mike,
The infamous clunk people complain about is simply an adjustment error. You must make sure you adjust the rear shock along with the spring perch in order to maintain proper spring preload and avoid noises.
If spring preload is not properly maintained, the spring will have play in it that it is not supposed to have. going over bumps and road imperfections will then cause the noise you see complaints about.
We offer a 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects and will troubleshoot problems with customers on a daily basis. You can be assured if you have problems, we will do everything within reason to fix it for you.
Sam
I cannot believe this response from BC? How could "many" of us only mis-adjust the RIGHT REAR? If its an adjustment issue.... wouldnt ONE person have noise from the other rear?
Im telling you.... ive adjusted.... removed.... examined... ???? and I cannot make the noise CHANGE on that side of the car! I cant even MAKE the left side MAKE noise! No matter WHAT!
Is anyone experiencing noise on the LEFT? I havent seen one mention of that? Or did I miss it?

All of the noise I have is from the right rear of the car. The adjustments in the rear are down to a 10th of a mm, so I don't buy that message from BC. I wonder if they could post a video of them fixing the rear rattle, since it seems they've been successful with it in their garage.
Ill tell you this: if they domt address it, theyre coming off for a refund. No way I can drive my car listening to that racket.... and im not talking about just bumpy roads.... constant.... even on the highway! Ive been trying to fix this since December, although weather here in the midatlantic has delayed me from really getting after this.

The strangest thing about all this Right Rear clunking is why in the world does this only pertain to the right rear? Surely everyone that's having this issue isn't improperly setting up just the right rear coils 
Is there some slightly different suspension geometry between the right and the left and it's causing noise from just the right side? Is the insulation/isolation for NVH different in the right spring &/or shock mounts?
Is the noise similar for both sides but is easier for the driver to hear the right rear and assume it's just the right rear that's got issues?
My Megan "clacky" syndrome is even on both sides as far as I can tell w/ out the defined clunks that the BC guys have been hearing and is pretty much only on washboard/ripple type bumps.
It'd be nice to have some concrete reason why it's just the right side, and once that's determined a true solution might be possible. If it were indeed just a shock problem then certainly it should be heard equally on the left too. Quite a quandary

but that's the only differences in the rear. If it was the front the tcase is on that side.
