Haven't took many pictures since I lowered except that last one will be taking more. Here are some Pictures like i promised!

Also if anyone can tell me about a Rear Camber Kit that would be awesome , I think I'm riding at about -2.3 right now on my back left wheel.

Yeah, but the Eibach's are making these clunking noises in the front, i've done some research and it seems to be the actual springs rubbing against each other.
Sent Eibach a message hopefully their customer service is good.

make sure you aligned everything correctly when you installed the springs. did you mark old+new springs to make sure? plus the strut assembly. often people shift that upon re-installation.

They just need to seat better. Take the wheel off and give 'em an ol' turn-ski once.

I thought the noise would go away when it settles but it has been three weeks, after i got my car alligned me and the mechanic made sure that it is sitting right.

Even though everything is sitting right and every thing tight should i still give it a good spin?
Are there any rear camber kits for our car? Sorry full of questions.

Well if all of that is sitting right, then the only other thing that is going to give you clunking it your top hats. Blahh I know. Those might have worn out a little bit or shifted as well. And of course we have ways to camber the rear. Drill new holes just like every good race car! And you can never have too many questions. It's all good man.

UPDATE to anyone who has noise with the sportlines. After putting the car on.jacks I noticed scratches on the springs on each side of the car o I thought the source of the noise might be the springs rubbing . Took apart some rubber hose I had and placed it over the scratched area and now the car rides smooth now no noise .

so its just the springs beating themselves up? bad design... sounds like most springs have this issue. i have heard people complain about TRD and Tein making noise but it isn't common.

so in theory all we need to do is cut up some rubber hose to fit over the springs and that should stop all our noise issues if it is coming from the springs? that sounds like a fix everyone can do, great!

Glad i can help lol yeah just some about 20 minutes to raise the car no need to take of tires to get to the springs then just look for scratch marks.
Should i take off tape and rubber before taking it to the dealer for my tire rotation or do you guys think they wont care?

those would look very nice on your tC!
the sensors depend on the condition of your rims. if they(sensor) are corroded at all, their removal may break the sensor and you will need to get new ones installed. they aren't cheap either apparently. but if you can afford rims, you can afford sensors haha. have some spare money in case you'll need new ones. go to a tire place and they will do the work for you. a physical tire rack shop will help you with that question.

they should be good, but i guess the only way to find out is when they try to take them off and replace them on the new rims/tires.

When i got my new wheels my TPMS were fine. Also those should fit well, they are close to the stock tC wheel specs (18x7.5 , +39mm offset). Your stock tires should fit too. Oh and your warranty being voided depends on if the dealership can pin any problem on that. So if you get headers that will probably void anything to do with the exhaust. They may try to pin any engine problems on it if they can, it depends on the tech i believe.

you know what that means: uninstall the header each time you go back to the dealer, and replace with stock.
