Not too long ago i started hearing this noise coming from around the tire/engine (driver side, dont know about passnger side) that sound like there is somethiong loose.So far i can only hear the noise when im on 1st and 2nd gear BUT only when i take the 1st or 2nd gear to aroubnd 2000-3000 rpm and let go the gas or when im taking off. I dont know if has to do witht he shock since i lowered my car and havent put sport shock im still running with OEM shocks and Tein S tech springs. thnaks ahead guys and hopefully you can help me.

Loose shock? Loose sway bar link? Can springs be installed incorrectly that would cause that noise?

My s10 had a metallic rattle and it was the upper shock mount bolts had untorqued and the shock would wiggle enough to make a noise when the weight would transfer on/off the front suspension or bumps

did you cut the bump stops when you installed the springs? if you didn't cut them, then you might be "riding the shock". essentially it means that your shocks are fully compressed

The rear or front? Any bounce from the springs?
