I can completely baffled, had the repair guys look at the whole right side assembly but they said everything was fine. Have this annoying creaking sound coming from the right side whenver the car dives when I break or rises when I accelerate. Anyone?

It very well could be... we all know that Eibachs are very close in stiffness and harshness to Sprints, and Tokicos are not strong enough for Sprints. You shold try a bounce test, but I have a feeling it's blown.

And about your tails... are those photoshopped or did you buy some type of tape to cover the orange?

that's pinstripe vinyl tape on the tails.

The thing is it is a new Tokico on the front, due to an accident. The car passes the bounce test too.

Maybe you need new dustboots?

I get creaking in my R front too when I turn the wheel. I got install about 5 months ago. Now I'm getting "rubbing sound" from front right whenever I turn the wheels a little, also the ride seems even stiffer than usual (I think Eibach/Tokiko is pretty harsh, though they handle great so I've left them on) makes me wonder about this setup.
