Sounds like a blown shock but shocks are new?

Okay i have this thumping coming from the rear right shock area of the car that basically sounds like a bad shock.. or so i thought. I got some new tokiko HP's and threw those on there and while doing so i noticed that the mounts looked to be in pretty good shape, no cracking or tears and still nice and rubbery feeling. Now that i've had them on for a bit i've noticed that it's still making that noise. What could be causing this, any ideas?

I had a set of Tokicos on my jap spec one when I was in Germany, and the same one that you are having problems with was bad on mine as well. After calling the company I got them from and they decided to send me a new shock, I found out that even though I had tightened the shit out of the shock mount in the trunk, it was still loose after some driving. All three nuts had backed off about 2 turns which was enough to make the thumping sound that I was hearing. Check the tightness, if that doesn't work then contact the people that you got it from and let them know the shock is bad and that you want a replacement.

Never had a problem when i had tokicos but double check the top nut and the rest of the suspension.

Had the same thing happen on mine.

I'll check the nuts again and get back. Thanks!

Turns out I didn't tighten up the main shock mount nut up enough and that was causing the noise. FYI, these tokikos have a much more harsh ride if anyone wanted to know anything about them.
