I had a similar knocking from my left rear, eventually changed the shocks, from the std? electro viscus ones to Tein,which are good IMO but on examination of the one that came off i found that it looked like the internal bump stop had gone! as the extension was about 1.5in longer than it should be:blink:

Have you checked the top nuts? We had an RX8 in with TEIN FLEX, that kept knocking... We found that the nut was loosening after time... Ive poped a new nut on it with a tiny bit of thread locker... Its not knocked since..

 

Worth checking out before you go replacing stuff... You can also get the TEIN stuff refurbshed too...
