Ok got this dam slight knock on when setting off and coming to a stop. Even when I turn slightly. Going over bumps and normal driving it's absolute fine. Only when I stop or set off
It's in kw coilovers so it's not the DRC
Had all the arms changed so they ate new checked everything is tight inc the suspension top mounts

Ive had exactly the same issue. (running kw v3)
replaced all the arms etc and still had it. its settled down in a few months.
thought it could be the top mounts, I think half of it was a loose undertray and also pads in the caliper.

It's just wired got it booked in this week at the garage to have a look. Nothing is loose that i can see. So will see what happens

One thing to note.
When i had all the front arms replaced they didnt use new bolts initially. This caused a clunk going from forward to reverse.
squeaking is top mounts.
I had a rattle that i thought was the suspension and after months of fettling it turned out to be the dash panel under the bonnet.

It came with all new nuts and bolts etc, the garage still could not find anything loose
