:wtf:

Hi im dropped on coilovers and I recently got SE wheels,

When I put them on it didnt knock but now I have this knocking sound a day after and it gets faster as i go faster, its definitly front left suspension and its slow if i go slow ,

and now im hearing a bird chirp sound from there im getting all these noises someone plz help?

Should i just tighten tophat?

is my tire/rim hitting suspension?

( I had steelies on and now i have SE rims) I dont think its much wider

Check your wheel bearing and all of your joints..
jack the car up on the frame an start wiggling things...
the coils wouldnt be in contact w the wheels..
soon as i put my coils on my car an dropped it i had a tie rod go bad from just such a drastic change of my suspension geometry... obviously they were old but that was the straw that broke the camels back...

Isnt it possible that im so cambered in that the tire hits the coil or something?
i mean why would it be a repeatitive sound isnt something hitting something :[?

also check your ball joint. Keep your possibilities open until you figure it out.

Have you tried putting your steelies back on to see if the sound goes away?
