Rear shocks going? I have a weird popping noise coming from the rear left side when I turn or put Gs on that side. (I think the shock is going and the spring is pooping because of it) Does that sound rite to anyone?
It is usually a single "pop". Happens every time when I am pulling in my drive way (as there is a little bump there and I am turning left to pull in.)

yes your shocks may be bad but what happened to me was the spring got turned and one of the coils was getting caught on something (think it was the upper panhard rod)
So whenever that spring was compressed it would rub and make a bang sound. I fixed it by turning the spring so the coil was out of the way.
Not sure if thats the same problem though cause mine was more of an exhaust bang sound

Could be your rear LCA's wearing out. Mine started popping before getting them replaced.
I put KYB GR-2 in my car. They work ok, a little harsher than the decrapons were but maybe that is because the decrapons were worn out after 122k 
They ran me around 200 bucks. Then I spent another 200 on shock mounts and tie rod ends and other stuff like that.
