maybe check the rear strut mount and make sure it is tight. but it sounds like it is time for new rear struts + mounts.

Also might make sure it isn't worn rear sway bar bushings. Crank the steering wheel back and forth quickly while driving it (doesn't have to be going very fast) to get the body swaying back and forth and see if it makes the clunking noise. It if does that sounds more like sway bar bushings. If it only does it on bumps that's probably the strut or mount and do what Chris says.

Sounds like the rear sway bar end links...

 

Bad bushings will cause a clunk, the sway bar end links will cause clicking noises..

 

Also, lift the car and make sure the rear spring isnt broken. Very common to happen and can actually mimmick a clicking of the end links

i think im going to buy 2004-2006 GTP struts

 

Ahh, Bilsteins, awsome choice!!!

 

Get rear stab links as well...They are attached to the strut and its more time than the money is worth to buy new ones..
