Exclamation [VIDEO] Groaning, Moaning, and Knocking - HELP? w/video

Trying to understand the possible cause for the following issue as in the video below. Any help is appreciated!

Gremlin noise is all throughout, but more prominent at 0:32, 0:38-0:42, 1:21-1:53 and gets really good from 4:00 onwards.
  • went from H&R coilover to KW V1
  • stock endlinks
  • happens on turns (more than straight line), especially when car has been running longer
  • on straight line acceleration from a stop there are occasional groans/clunks but not once past a few mph
  • no strange feedback in steering when noise occurs

(I understand the PS whines, but I'm interesting in the clunking, knocking, groaning, ticking, etc!)

The classic groaning and minor clunks most likely sway bar end links or top strut mounts.
