I don't think so. Flat spots usually occur from braking hard, or being parked for a very, very, long period of time somewhere. In a rare case, it is because of the collapse of the inner structural belt of the tire, which at that point, might be dangerous to drive.

After correctly preloading all the springs on the coilovers adjusting the ride height and steering rack with alignment its 80% better maybe im just too picky cant expect lowered cars to ride perfect i guess :/ .. I still have new motor mounts and a trans mount to install will attempt that next
