Anyone know? previous owner says it becuase of the width of the wheels and on how low it is?

Thanks

Either top mount bearings or worn anti roll bar bushes!

Gent above speaks sense...likely to be your top mounts matey. Should really always replace them when fitting new suspension.

Stupid question, but have you made sure that youve got the spring hats ontop of the front springs as you may not have and the coilover spring is just sitting on the top mount so when you turn the wheel instead of your top mount turning, your coilover spring is and causing the clunking by it flexing against your top mount!!
