I recently got my car lowered. (shortly ill have pictures) Anyway at first the job seemed flawless. The car handles great and it looks quite nice. The lowering stance seems to be even all the way around the car. Of course i need to the get the car re-aligned due to the whole strut/ spring combination being removed and put back on, plus a slight pull to the right. However ive started to notice a rattle type noise in the rear whenever the car is vibrated over bumps. My question is , when you lower your car are these sounds normal? Like i said the car feels right. I wondering if me and my friend have to go back in and redo the springs.

it could be normal. remember, you lowered the car and made it stiffer. Could be the springs settling/the body settling. Also, the stiffer suspension could cause things to rattle more than they would under the stock, softer setup.

If they are H&R springs, check your drivers rear spring. It is likely rubbing the wheelwell at the top. You can either have a body shop push that portion of the wheelwell out to provide the clearance, ot just grease up the spring in that area....
