So I lowered my car after a while.. just pulled the factory struts / whatever out and replaced them with with KYB Gr2's and Eibach Sportline's
There's this noise. I'm sure all you pros know what i'm talking about. Is there some add-on kit that I should added .. or some dampener or something that I forgot to install that was extra to what I listed?! Lemme know Thanks a million Shaun |

could be bushings if you're lucky. but probably top mounts, just because they cost more.

Kinda like a knock knock knock.. only heard at low speeds...
and .. mounts? Where can I get ones that'll hit the 1.5" Eibach Sportline drop? Do the factory ones work fine? And what type of bushings? Thanks guys. Shaun |

Most likely your sway bar links. Mine did it for awhile till I took her to the shop and found out what it was. Easy fix with some new links or new sway bars.

There should really be a sticky for this. It seems to be the #1 complaint whenever you lower your car.
It could be: 1. Bushings 2. Loose sway bar linkages 3. The springs may not be properly set Refer to this link for more detailed explanations Clunking Hope it helps. Jordan |

This is obviously but often overlooked....make sure everything is tight!!! Like everybody said, sway bar end links are an obvious one. Also make sure you check the upper spring perches. They will move unless really tight.
