After I installed a set of springs my rear end was noisy as hell for about 100 miles. After that I got an alignment, didn't help. It would do it when turning at slow/medium speeds and when going over bumps or uneven road. Anyhow, another hundred miles and it shut up. It's fine now.

how can you tell if a shock is bad?
You should be able to "feel" it when you go over bumps There will be a slight clunk sound too. When I say "feel", I mean you can feel the bad shock compressing and rebounding faster than the others. In a car as stiff as the S 2000, its pretty easy to feel this.

IT'S NORMAL!

I've had 3 sets of eibachs and they all made the same sound you are talking about. It'll go away after awhile. From what i understand the springs are just settling into the grooves on the top of the strut tower.

um... idk.. i think i'm only hearing it from the left, like RIGHT under my feet or near there... so it's gotta be the front left......like slippy said, i get that noise slowing down, turning left, accelrating after going like 5mph, or going over uneven road, the sounding sounds like it hurts the car
