Re: my gc/tokico setup is making noise!! help!

how low did you drop the gcs on the tokicos? if anything its probably jsut the bushings wearing out because you dropped it too low. worse comes to worse it could be the frame in the actual trunk where the top of the strut is bolted onto. my super stiff suspension actually caused the metal in my trunk to bend upwards toward the center of the trunk. well i should have known better not to slam my car that low anyways. i am almost tucking my 205/50/16s in the rear and tucking a bit in the front. looks sick though lol. IMO the rear suspension in our cars was poorly made. i have an 02 sedan but it should be the same principle.
