i have the same problem. when it rain and when i went through the poddle. my car will make a strange clunking noise by the driver side door or fender area. after maybe 30 sec to a min it will go away. it only happen in the rain and going through poddles of water, never in the dry days. can never find out why.

Idk about the suspension problem, but i get better than stock gas mileage and i have Intake, TBE, 280 Cams, Ported Mani and a bunch of other bolt ons. I was tuned by DTM on their Dyno. Honestly i would try a different tune, Different tuners do things differently.

well I found out what it was and had it fixed. turns out after looking underneath the car, the driveshaft had enough play that it would hit, vibrate, and resonate against my exhaust. what made the noise come into play when it rained was the torqueing up of my rear wheels after slight traction loss in the rain. not sure if thats what you've been experiencing. the noise that i had was more than noise it was very much mechanical. you couldn't continue driving when it occurred.
