Unusual Symptoms Post Techart PSS9 Install

What would you say caused these problems?

Here is a picture of the bearings. The springs rest on them and spin freely, relieving tension, rather than the usual bind and then pop noise.
These guys know about it and sell the thrust bearings: http://www.tcdesignfab.com

How much are these? I can't find them on their website.

Many thanks to CEC........they kindly offered to inspect this install and components. Their opinion is that the shocks have leaked out and are shot. Very odd since they were working on the TT that they came off?
Not sure where to go with this......now out the cost of the Techarts + install.
Cheers,

Blackbear,
It was so many years ago, I don't remember, but IIRC they were about $35-70. I bought them in '02 when I got my car - It doesn't seem like I've had this car for 7 years...that's a record for me.
They were never on the web site, you have to call. I think they used to have a video on their website showing the spring popping.

I went through your troubles about 2 months ago...
1)for fronr sway bar,use adjustable sway bar links and enlarge them so when the car is on the road and the wheel full turned,sway bar does not touch left or right front shaft...
2)for rear sway bar,contact Dan at Vivid racing to send you adjustable rear sway bar links(from mazdaRX8) and make them about 2cm longer than stock ones...by doing so you will not have contact between sway bar and rear trailing arm...Otherwise contact will occur if you stiffen the sway bar...hurting the trailing arm...
3)PSS 9 is not designed for lowering the car...what a shame...However,because i bought it and wanted my car to be extreme low,i opened the shocks and enlarged piston travel from inside about 1inch...Also i cut bumpstops at half gaining another inch...Normal travel of pss piston is 5,6cm...My final travel was 11cm...When the car sat on the road it still had 4cm of travel down and 6 to travel up...So it was fine concerned it is a sports car...With stock pss lowered to GT2 specs,the car touches bumpstops when sit on the road...what you felt was the bumpstops getting stiffer as they were pressed...
