Question What will break on a drop?

Hey guys,

I was gonna do some searching, but I don't have a whole lotta time to do it so I will just post and hope for the best.

I lowered my car about a year ago on Intrax 2" Front and 1.8" Back. Also I had the Koni Strut conversion on the front and replaced the rear with Koni's as well.

Now here is the problem.....As time has progressed, I am starting to hear a lot more clunks and rattling coming from my rear suspension. I have yet to hear anything from the front.

My question is this:

Is there anything I should be aware of that may break over time when lowering a car? For some reason bushings come to mind, but is there such a thing. I am not too detail oriented when it comes to suspensions. Can someone post what may be happening?

BTW: I had an awesome drop and Koni conversion done by this shop that is known for their excellent quality...I have not asked them yet (they may not even know), but it would be nice to be able to take it to them with problem in hand for them to fix in the first place.

Thanks guys!

ya its possible that the bushings are just wearing out and allowing the springs to move a little more freely. nothing coil wrap probably cant fix. the bushings should still be fairly good where you dont have to replace them tho
