Default Lowering and roof noise

Has anyone else had a problem with more roof noise after lowering?

It kind of makes sense because less wheel travel could create more chassis flex...

After I lowered, w/ Tein CST coilovers, I started noticing roof noise going up driveways and very uneven surfaces. I put Dazien sways on and didn't notice more noise right away but lately things have got noisier.

I have added the front STB and the billet aluminum rear member brace repalcements. They have helped very little.

Has anyone tried the Tom's front and rear lower chassis braces? Any suggestions??


Thanks,

Mark (da-bizket)

Is it like creaking noises? If so I have noticed that in all my cars after lowering and putting the braces on. In my opinion it has to do with the strut bars and braces.

I get creaking and rubber popping sounds from the roof after lowering.

By the small response, is everyone saying that they don't have any problems like this? It would be nice if you posted info even if your going to say you lowered and didn't have any problems. That way I can determine if it's my car or SC problem.

Where are all the pros responses from the likes of: Rominl, Pearlpower, and Talwang? You guys have all lowered, any problems??

Thanks,

Long story short, the roof of my car on the passenger side had the creaking noise first and then came back with a popping noise after dealer fixed it when it was completely stock.

The popping noice does get a little worse after Daizen and Tein install, but it sounds like metal not rubber in my car. I didn't bother to take it back to dealer because I knew they would blame it on the mods.
