welll here it is.

the 7th gen isn't the greatest car to lower if your using stock shocks because the boot thing in the front is too large and it sits funny on there making a popping sound.

soo thats the main reason. they weren't exactly made to be lowered with stock shocks.


i'm guessing that thats what your still riding on correct?

here's the thing...it wasn't making any noise at all immediately after i lowered it...and i'm fairly certain i put everything back together the right way....it started the noise making after i got it aligned....anyone think the alignment could have somehow caused the noises?
