don't set your handbrakes too tight when storing for long periods. could be your brake pads releasing after a long tight set.

Mine does the same but more like a boing sound coming from the coilovers. Took it to the dealer and they said its normal and after break in you will hear more noise

I second this. Esp. after washing your car and the rust builds up on the iron rotors and the car's been sitting for a while. You don't even have to have the handbrakes on. The build up will still cause a boink.

If it just sits overnight it will do that after a wash. I've never seen the handbrake cause a problem.

yups oak is right... Might be that. If you're in Fremont and you're still worried you can always come by and let Dr. James listen to it.
