Grinding engine noise after spring install...
I just had some tein s-techs installed on my Z. But for some reason, i'm feeling a rumbling/vibration when the car is started and when i step on the gas. I noticed my top plenum and some of my engine cover is hitting my font strut bar. I had a plenum spacer installed a while ago but that was installed correctly, with the stut bar washers/spacers. So i think this excessive rumbling is coming from the strut-bar and plenum grinding on each other. Anyone ever hear of this happening after a simple spring install?
I didn't do the spring install myself because i don't have the necessary tools.

The noise is there when i accelerate too, but its not so bad anymore. The noise goes away when i let off the gas and just cruise. Very strange...
