Per the repair order they re-torqued all exhaust hanger bolts and rear suspension bolts, removed and re-installed the headliner, removed and re-installed the rear seats, and dismantled the trunk. Kudos to the dealership for trying, but no dice, and I don’t want push it further at risk or introducing new issues and burning what is. at the moment, a great relationship with the SA. Hopefully someone has luck with this!

I think my issue has been resolved via an indirect upgrade. I just picked up my car after having the Bilstein EVO SE coilover kit installed. This was after I was experiencing the thump noise with both the OEM springs and the Eibach springs (which is another story in itself). After 30 miles of highway and surface street driving on roads that I take daily on which I've heard the thump, NO MORE THUMP! Sorry I don't have an actual fix to share, but rather a $3k upgrade you can do with the added benefit of resolving the thump. I'll report back in a couple of weeks to confirm that the noise is indeed gone.
