Kimbo, your car is lookin' damn sexy! (besides, I am biased towards PSM Subys considering mine is PSM too 
) Keep up the good work! Did you ever get your rear strut issue worked out? What was the problem? :thumbsup:

Thanks! after taking apart the suspension more than 3 times and no results, i pretty much gave up. im going to be getting some DMS 50mm coilovers in a month or two (as soon as i have that much money saved up
) i might try and take everything apart again this weekend, but we'll see

I've got a question about the clunking in the STi suspension. I too have V7 JDM takeoffs from gruppe-s. They just started making a clunking sound every once in awhile. They never made this sound till I had it the dealership to have the new clutch and flywheel put in as per the service bulletin. I just want to know if the dealership could have messed it up. Also, should I be concerned or just deal with it? Thanks for any help.
Sorry about the semi-hijack.

first check to make sure all the nuts and bolts are tight. If you verify that it's the struts, they need to be taken apart and lubed. Nothing's actually broken. I really doubt the dealer caused the problem- more likely, you were checking more closely after they had the car.

So you saying I need to actually take the strut apart and lube it? Like take the inside of the strut out of the casing? Sounds like a real pain in my ***. I might just deal with the clunk.

I think I saw you at vishnu last friday...I was getting my windows tinted at omega and I picked up some gaskets from shiv. It looked busy that day. He had like five or six cars jammed in his shop.
