Noises/issues after lowering on road magnets.
Hello!
I'm pretty new here but i've lurked a lot.
I've recently purchased an 07 IS250awd. I also purchased the Road Magnet springs and i lowered my car yesterday. The ride height is awesome and so is the ride. However, I'm having issues.
I've lowered on the stock shocks that are around 60k. I've cut the bump stops and uses everything else. I only replaced just the springs.
I've searched for Noises after loweing, clunking noises after lowering. Googled and all kinds of stuff.
But when I drive over rough patches or bumps, it sounds like the suspension is loose and making clunking noises. Both front and rear. I've tighten and double checked all the nuts and bolts. and i can't figure out why it sounds like the suspension is loose?
It's like the coils/struts are just bouncing up and down, yet everything is tight!
Anyone have a clue as what it could be?
Loving the car btw!

Found out it was the End links on the sway bars.
Instead of purchasing stock ones, does anyone recommend a good end link? or know how often these go bad? i don't want to have to keep replacing them all the time.
Now that i'm lowered 2 inches. I wonder how long it takes to kill and end link.
