Default Whats this dull thud?

When i brake and the car comes to a stop the momentum of the car obviously shifts to the front and then back. When the weight is transfered to the back i get a kind of thud sound and feel it through the seat. It seems to be coming from the back drivers side brake/tyre/suspension.

It is not a loud noise or anything that sounds too major, its just a dull thud when the weight goes from the front to the back as though maybe the caliper or something moves/sticks? i cant figure it out so wonder if any one else has had this type of noise or situation or can guesse as to what it might be?

Suspension:
STI Titanium strut brace
Eibach Pro street adjustable coilovers
Alloy Rear drop links
Powerstation geometry set-up with bumpsteer mod all set up for Fast road use.

Brakes:
AP 6-Pot conversion with 356mm grooved discs
Braided brake lines
Ferodo pads

Thanks for all your help in advance!

could it be the spare loose in the boot, are all the nuts/bolts on the rear suspension tight OR is it like I had turning right into a carpark with a slight curb felt a knock through the seat. Oops forgot to take the can of hammerite I bought the week before out and it rolled about. Best of luck finding it m8 hope it turns out as easy as mine was to repair.

Pete, you are ill - take some time off to get yourself back into the land of normal people.

By the way if you are making or continue making insinuations that APi is doing and charging repair work that is unnecessary, I will sue your **** off. I AM SERIOUS - Business is not a playground for idiots like you.

We take our responsibilities to our customers very seriously and whilst it may be fun for clowns like you to deride APi and other worthy Subaru specialists. To all of us it is not funny.

You have been warned.
