Thanks for the link Tony. Maybe Gus will consider a group buy on these?

Weird. I had all the same issues and went with Steeda Ultra Lites and D-Specs about 7 months ago and issue resolved. Not saying the D-Specs were the cure, any aftermarket strut should be. Obviously not the case with some of you. I'm also using the OEM caps.

Mine were fine for quite awhile too, but it came back. I bought new strut caps when I switched to the Ford Racing Multimatic struts and the creaking/groan was still there. Not everybody experiences this either, which is weird. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

sorry....i mean the noises. i had my strut tower caps/tops/bushings replaced and the popping went away. shortly after i installed the d-specs and the creaky/light thumpy noises went away from the passenger side (becuase i cranked the sway bar end links down).

the ride quality is great, much better then stock, however the popping has come back.

the more i drive the car, the more i notice it's a tad bouncy though. from what i gather, apparently tokico's are known to be this way. maybe next time i'll give koni's a go.

I was quite happy with the D-specs initially, especially for the price. But after a season, I've about killed them. I'll be going with the Ground Control setup for next season:
