this happens to a lot of people who lower their car. it usually goes away after awhile. for me it took 4 months, and you can still hear a tiny noise i think if you try tightening the large 17mm nut on top of the strut it may stop.. or so I hear.

the gap is caused by the springs you have. neuspeed designed their springs to be as long as stock so that this doesnt happen.. but ya what springs do you have?
