It's a lot worse when I have a passenger with me. I have checked all the bolts to make sure nothing is loose and sorta eyeballed it, but I really have no clue what could be causing it.

you installed the shims on the springs right?

preloaded to spec?

I didn't install them, this local tuner shop did.

Given he was unaware that the rear shocks were height adjustable, it's possible he didn't preload the springs to spec. Shims are on though, that much I know.

Omfg why would you let a shop work on your car ??? Its sounds like its just the coils creeking when they're getting compressed in turns .
