Strange noise after lowering my MINI Cooper

[Maaij]

Hi

I am hearing strange noises from the back of the car (drivers side) after lowering my Cooper with Eibach lowering springs (3cm drop).
Anyone have the same problem after lower the car?
Is it because the car is harder so you here those noises? You can hear it clearly on bad roads.

Can you describe the noises?

I.E...Scraping, Knocking, Grinding ect?

This will help us to understand the problem a litle more

also what wheels, tyres are you running with??

Dont know how to discribe the sound. I think is more a knocking sound.

Wheels are 18" JCW with 215/35/18 tires. They dont scrap. So dont think its a scraping/ griding sound.

Mmmm..did you fit the springs yourself?

If so is everything reconnected and tight? may seem silly but its always better to 'measure twice and cut once' if you know what i mean..

If a garage fitted them...then take a visit and see what they say

Does the noise happn all the time or only over bumps ?

Noise is only over bumpy roads. So its not all the time.

I didnt fit it myself. So I am going back to the garage to let them see if everything is ok.

Yeah you payed them to do the job properly and they aint so take it back to them

When ever you have something done these days no one ever does a good job and that really ****es me off
