Default After drop weird noise..

Sup everyone

I just dropped my car like a week ago...dropped on Tanabe GF210 stock track wheels...

I notice after the drop that I hear the road more? Don't know if that make sense. Some roads its quiet and some are real loud...I didn't notice it that bad with stock suspension...some roads it'll cause vibration..I dont hear anything rattling...

My girlfriend even notice it...sounds like i have a flat or something...

Hope that make sense...

I've searched didn't find anything similar to my situation

THanks in advice

I had a similar problem after i was dropped on some tein s-techs. I noticed there was some vibration that i could feel under my gas pedal when i accelerated hard and got on the Z. It turns out my strut bar was touching the top of the engine causing vibrations. I threw some washers/spacers under my strut bar to raise it up, and the vibrations went away. Check your strut bar for clearance.

Edit: But if it is infact road noise, it could be your alignment. Let the springs settle and get your alignment done.
