road noise ?
how much road noise should i expect after lowering my car? after getting it lowered last week on the l-tuned set up, the road noise went from a 1 to a 7 (on a scale of 1-10) I have stock 16" wheels and had the alignment done, but couldn't get the camber done. the camber i will be getting done on monday. question, can the camber play that much of a role in road(tire) noise. i have two 30%tread remaining tires on the front and brand new tires in the back. could the mismatched tires be the reason? well any feed back on the l-tuned shock and springs road noise would be helpful thanks, suxel

well it's at the point where i can clearly hear it with the radio at crusing volume.....the only other lowered car i had was a civic, back in 99 and it was slammed more then 2 inches and the road noise wasn't as bad as it is now. just trying to relay the fact that it is very noticable and yes, annoying. a "10" would almost an ear popping noise.....hahhah. right now at 10-40mph it is at it's loudest, i think....gets a little quiter when on the freeway, but i think only beacuse there is more wind noise, so i don't think it gets quiter on the freeway per say.
