Noises from front suspension

[Black9]

I had this earlier in the year. Turned out to be my shocker.

Both the knocking and clicking noise? It may well be the shocker as its lowered on VWR springs on stock dampers

Also how did u diagnose the damper. Was it after having other stuff replaced and the noise still being there....

I've also got a knocking/banging from the drivers front over bumps, along with a slightly 'loose feeling' / wobble from the steering wheel. Tracking is ok and wheels are all balanced so will be replacing the following at the weekend, couldnt pin point the issue so thought id just replace the lot - so it better fix it lol!!! Am doing the following:

AP Coilovers
Powerflex front inner wishbone bush
Whiteline Anit-link kit to replace the front rear wishbone bush
Both ARB droplinks
Both Top mounts/bearings
Both balljoints

I had a "clicking" noise in my civic which turned out to be a shocker.

Do you know the strut diameter for the GTI?

EDIT: found it: 55mm

Is there any sure way whether to determine its the dampers?

Only option I can think of are

1- get top mount bearings replaced and if the noise is still there I know it's the dampers

2- get dampers and top mounts replaced to rule them both out

I have VWR springs on stock dampers, could I just buy 2 used oem dampers or best to buy a set of 4 aftermarket dampers such as KW, Bilstein etc... 

Any advice would be good:)
