Are you guys downshifting and letting off the clutch while decelerating?

It sounds more like a rattling or something with the suspension. At first I thought it was the hatch rattling but its more like a squeak or chirp. Whenever I'm driving over a rough road or at low speeds I usually hear it. It's just like Jason said a chirping sound.

I have the same noise at low speeds going down my bumpy alley where it can echo off fences. One thing I heard was torquing down bolts with the wheels in the air maybe causes it.

I had the same noise, turned out my rear coilovers were loose... I'd check them first, as it was a simple fix for mine...

Gotta give a quick shout out before shower/food/sleep to everyone who helped me on this project. In more or less chronological order.

1. Stephen (ImportedPerformance) - Hooked me up with the sweet Rays lugs.
2. Chris (Fithamoto) - Got me in touch with the wheel/tire guy, huge plus there.
3. Eric (WheelFix) - Superb paint job, wheels, tires, TPMS. No more shimmy at higher speeds, even with spacers added now.
4. Jake (AcidJake75) - For taking so much time out of his day to get all the final touches done and a great install/fender roll.

Highlight of it all, taking the on-ramp from PGBT to the tollway at ~80mph and the only body roll was me trying to not fall over.

Hopefully I got everyone on this forum who helped, definitely great people to work with. I'm shooting for some pics tomorrow in the daytime.

I love your FX Stu. Thing has NO UCA's. It has knuckles like the 240sx. I couldnt believe it. The drop that came with the BC coilovers was spot on - looked gorgeous. I hope you didnt rub any (even with all them wheels and tires in the back)

J- I used my ball joint to remove the studs and it worked like a f*kin CHAMP man.. I took pics. will post later (dont have my camera with me)

Thanks Nuge! It shouldn't be too bad, I got up to backgrounds last year until I gave up my spot for personal reasons(was going through crap with the b* ex). There was 1,400+ applicants and I was one of the 100 remaining. Now it's game time again...
