noise developed after lowering

[Rocky Rocastle]

to be fair i don't believe it's the kit as it's not much lower than the KW kit if at all, i think something may have perished or needs re-tightening and after only 2 weeks of fitting I can't blame the suspension for that, just general where and tear that could of been speeded up whatever the kit.

I think i am having this same sound with my lowering kit fitted to my Leon 1.4. I have the adjustable droplinks to solve the front anti-roll bar issue and have checked all the bolts are tight. I am starting to think this problem my be the driveshafts having a bit of play, now they are sitting at a new angle. Does this sound plausible?

this will be of no help what so ever but the problem i had seemed to rectify itself with those springs and dampers, never did replace anything and the noise gradually after a month or so of fitting disappeared, i put it down to bedding it.

Front end knocks can be a pain in the arse to identify, is it a constant noise, does it happen on turning, just over bumps etc?

If it its tis then its the CV joints at the end of the drive shafts.
Try full lock slow turns forward and back to see if the noise is present then
