when going slow, right? is it a "creak" or a "clank"? either way, try adjusting the top perch mount at the shock mount under the hood. not sure about KW design, but it's probably a bolt and allen wrench ot prevent the strut from spinning while you tighten down.

btw, i noticed you can adjust the dampening on those KW V2's. what's an ideal setting? Also, for the rears, can you adjust the dampening without removing the coilover?
To adjust the rear dampening, you have to remove the trunk liner so it's best if you get it right the first time.

I have mine set to 1 full turn in the front and 2 full turns in the back. Ride is almost as soft as stock sport suspension.
