Default recently lowered 97 ls400 making weird noise

Hey guys I need some help my car started making a really odd noise today I'm not sure if it's coming from the suspension or the engine. It's like a slight banging or scraping sound like something is rubbing or hitting something. The weird part is that it happens when I'm driving but when i press on the gas the noise goes away if I let go and let the car coast without giving it gas or brake it makes the noise and the moment i put my foot on the accelerator it goes away. I recently installed Megan LP coilovers on it Ive had them for about a month and had zero issues the engine was working flawlessly i checked if anything was rubbing and it doesn't seem like there is. Any idea of what it could be??
Thanks in advance
Ray

First thought that came to my mind was the strut bar bushing among others. The new ride height changes and natural wear may be showing signs through the worn bushings.
