Your lowered on cheap china coilovers , on much stiffer springs than stock and most likely not set up properly. Then you think a little noise is an issue

bc coilovers is less sportier than stock imo but thats besides the point. Have you ever gotten in an accident? even a small one?

Might be a defective shock or a loose bolt somewhere.
