Did you also put in the Tokicos at the same time?

Yes, that is correct. I had everything installed that's listed in my sig. It is fine on the highway or smooth roads, but quite horrible on uneven or rough roads. I almost wonder if the passenger side HD Upper Strut mount was installed wrong, but don't really see how that could happen... The install is pretty straight forward. It is almost like a "bobbling" sound if that makes sense and then "thunks" over speed bumps, etc. Everything was torqued to spec. at the shop, but the1at day after I picked it up the front struts appears a little loose and were making some noise. The shop said it was probably just do to the new suspension settling, but assured me it was all torqued to spec. It seemed better after they tighted everything up again, therewas still some slight "thunking" over speed bumps, etc fromthe passenger side. I'm going to take it in again to double check everything, the front springs have settled about 1/4 inch since install.

The spring isolators, do they go at the top and bottom of the springs or just the bottom? I'm thinking that now that plastic upper strut bearing was replaced, they may need an isolator at the top to dampen the sound since it is now metal to metal. Can these easily be picked up at the dealership? I was thinking about trying to have a dealership just install the isolators, but I bet they won't do it since the new suspension/spring install....
