Everytime I go over a bump my struts make a knocking noise. Handling is stiff as can be and car has virtually no body roll. Should I buy new ones or just live with it?
O yea it has kyb struts and eibach springs.

 

You should find out where the sound is coming from.

Car could be bottoming out

 

How much are you dropped?

BTW: your car has shocks, not struts.

 

I would start by making sure that everything is tight.

 

check your suspension components

 

2 inch drop, def not bottoming out. acura said it had to be the shocks and it would cost somthing rediculous for them to put them in. although, they could never find what was wrong with my temp gauge and everyone else says thermostat. I think they are incompetent there or just dont care unless you have a brand new ac.

 

i get knocking sound on bumps too, but only on front wheels, not sure what is it, but my car hasn't ben lowered, its stock.

Check your sway bar end links in that case. Check all componets for tightness as well.

 

have they ever been replaced?

 

put the car in the air and check everything. same thing happened to a buddy of mine and it ended up being a beat a$$ ball joint. noises don't always come from where you think they are. good luck.

 

i got ball join noise too right now. just started about 2 weeks ago.
