Hey Yruyru, when you did your Eibach spring install, did you notice a low pitch thump from the rear end when you go over a bump? Part of me thinks its the trunk cover, but I don't know if it;s something worse, and more expensive.

I get the same thump since in a while. Network alignment did mine.

Well, after the first dealership told me they don't have the alignment specs in their computer, I'm now sitting across town at the other dealership getting the alignment done. I'm getting tired of dealing with the Toyota dealership right next to my apartment, they seem to be incurably incompetent.

I really want to do this too but I have a bad habit of royally screwing up these types of projects. After the airbag I'll just need to work on the floormats. Too bad those Toyota 86 Racing ones won't work for LHD.

I have the specs (FRS factory service manual FTW), they just, for whatever reason, said they'd have to call in their alignment guy to either download the specs from the Toyota info something, or custom build the car's profile so they can align it. Either way they wanted me to come back in a couple of days. I called the dealership across town, asked if they have the specs and can align the car today, now BAM, here I sit waiting here while the car goes on the alignment rack.

Status update. Turns out the rear shocks are blown, so it looks like I'll be replacing those. So much for doing suspension work myself.

Was it caused by the springs you installed?

They are trying to figure that out. They don't believe so, since it shouldnt have happened that fast. They asked how they were assembled and since they assembled the rears for me, I don't know exactly.
