Question Suspension Noice????

I installed JIC Coilovers in October. I lowered 2" in the back and 1 1/4" in the front. Around January or somewher around ther my car started doing a weird noice in the back suspension. The noice is produce when I'm in low gears around 1st and 2nd. The noise is very hard to explain never heard before. I took the car to same plce it was installed, so they could look at it and tell me if something was wrong. They said nothing was wrong with it, that the noise could be coming from it being so low or because of the weather for it being so cold.

It has passed like 3 weeks or 1 month since i took it to be looked at. The noise is still going on is just getting anoying.

Just wondering if anybody has had the same problem?
If you know was causing it?

Thank You

I have the same issue it sounds like a groaning sound. I hear it more when going u or down a driveway or inclined road in 1st or 2nd gear.

I have the Ebrich Pro set which drops the car 1 inch in the rear.
