Hey

I am swapping out my stock springs for Tein H-tech lowering springs. I was just wondering if there are any common noises with lowering ones car (steering noise, increased road noise etc...)

Thanks everyone

Shouldn't be. It may be a bit bumpier, but I can't think of a reason for them to make noise.
Road noise would be your tires, steering noise..... no idea what would cause that lol

Nope. I haven't gotten any new noises because of lowering. Anything specific you are hearing?

Have you got an alignment yet?

I havent gotten an alignment yet, just got the done today. However, I can currently hearing a knocking sound when I am doing tight turns.

Who did the install? It should knock, cluck, click or bang. Sounds to be either a spring isn't seated correctly or something wasn't properly reinstalled.

So when I woke up I went to pulled the car into the garage. I checked the wheel well lining to rub marks.....none, checked clearance between the top of the tire and the fender......clear (all fingers can fit between wheel and fender). Took the car out for a spin and some tight turns....no more noise. WEIRD Lets see what happens the next couple of days

you might have lost some of the bearings on the top hat when you took it off
