Craig855S Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Get your 17s back on the front and see if it's still a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort_Kid Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) You sure its not the bit of pipe coming out of the backbox that goes over the rear beam banging/making a metalic sound, I had this problem on mine when I went over horrible bumps itd bang on my rear beam and make a horrible noise, although I am -60mm so a little bit lower than you, but all I had to do was raise my exhaust up abit on the rubbers and it was perfect, hasn't banged on my rear beam since Edited August 28, 2011 by Escort_Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4u1 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 If it is the rear beam strap abit of rubber to the beam where the exhaust is to sofen it, also could be the fact it has 14s on and being lowered i don't think they come standard with 14s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
