From your axle-back thread it looks like you've taken the plunge - wrench on my friend, wrench on! Everyone starts somewhere. Car is looking great with the new setup. Glad to hear it's nice and planted on the road. Keep us posted how they settle in. Tien's are on my list to look at when I eventually get to swapping suspension, so I'll be looking forward to your feedback. -- Adam |

As for the Tien's, I had a very loud metallic thud sound coming from the back when going over larger bumps for the first week. It only happened on particularly jarring bumps though. I mentioned this when I went back for my alignment and they checked everything and all looked to be installed correctly. After the alignment it happened again and then it hit me to check the firmness level. They set the back on almost the softest setting and once I set it to Tien's recommended, which is 8 from the firmest setting, it seems to have solved the problem. I didn't really realize how bouncy the car felt on the softer setting by comparison, but now they feel firm and the car feels even tighter than before. This thing really turns almost flat; on-ramps and off-ramps are particularly fun now. It's a big improvement in handling (and looks). That said, on crappy roads you definitely feel it. |

So, I spoke too soon. The loud metallic clunking noise is back. It comes from both sides in the rear when driving over bumps at speed. It’s very loud and the shop that installed them can’t find anything wrong with them. Any suggestions?
