Strange noise after lowering kit

Hey Guys, sorry if this is off topic.

Need some help here. Has anyone had a problem with noise after installing an Eibach Pro Kit spring set.

I recently had my 2000 TL lowered and now it has started a sort of "hollow rolling sound" coming from "I think" somewhere on the right rear. When the the kit was originally installed, the car was out of level in the front by about 1/2". The sound was not there at this time.

I had the mechanic make the adjustment, now everything is perfectly level, but now the noise. I have had a wheel alignment after the kit.

Has anyone experienced this or know the fix?

Could it be bearings or camber.

Thanks in advance...

lowering a car always makes some suspensio noise.

dont think that modifying your car in anyway such as lowering or adding power aders, will keep the car sounding stock.

i had horendous noises from my eclispe when i lowered it.

got my springs yesterday.

only had time to do the front springs last night...will do the rears tonight.

Anyway, with 50% turn to left or right, I get a small clunking noise when moving. The faster the vehicle is going, the more often it occurs- seems it's got to do with something rotational. I had this happen to my Honda back in the day and it cleared up after a few weeks. I think it's just a sign of everything settling back into place. no worries.

your springs are not sitting properly... make sure the end of the spring is lined up to a groove. the sound will go away.

After a day and a half....the noise is completely gone. Thanks for the tip, I figured that's what it might be- seating.
