What happened? There's a couple of things. I'm by no way discrediting your friend or Toyota technicians. I am simply posting this information for others to see so they do not make a common mistake with installing our spring kit or other spring kits.
We found out the hard way that if you zap off the factory top nut with an impact gun that you can actually spin the shaft internally causing it to click. If you spin the shaft too far this will cause the shaft to come disassembled internally and could, over time, cause the shock to leak. There is a special tool that needs to be used to lock the shaft from spinning when assembling and disassembling the front suspension.
If the special tool was not used and something else was used to hold the shaft, this could cause scoring on the shaft that could damage the internal seals, thus causing the damper to leak.
Has your friend called Eibach directly so our techs can help diagnose what is going?

Thats a good question I will ask.
