loud sound?
I recently had my car lowered with H & R springs, as well as aligned, now when I go over rough parts in road, I hear a loud sound. Is this normal? or what could be problem? The car drives fine except for that.

Thanks for any advice/help.

Do you think the front spring might have been installed wrong or is this normal?

Sounds like the front side, but only when I go over rough parts(small dips or pot holes ect.) of the road.

Thanx

Its probably your horn. Try removing the keys from the ignition and see if the noise goes away.

He's just messing, it could be your bumpstop or your strut bottoming out. how loud is the noise?? Having bigger rims and lowering suspension can increase the noise level, especially if u drive pass pot hole. One way to avoid is to drive around the pot hole.

I'm not sure what might be causing the noise. Maybe you can try bring your car to the dealer and let them check it. When I first installed my suspension, there was weird noise coming from the rear right. I brought my car to dealer and they fixed the suspension problem for free under warranty. (They probably should've charged me since I have aftermarket suspension installed at an outside shop, maybe I got lucky). Just talk to your service advisor and see what he/she says. Good luck.
