    Default 1999 civic lowering problem

    I have a 1999 Honda civic ex. I just put in a eibach lowering kit. I had no problems with the install. but soon after I started hearing noise from the right rear. I took that one back apart. adjusted it because the spring wasn't all the way butted up against the strut plate. I put it back together and heard no noise for about a week. now I am hearing it again. any ideas what this could be or advice to fix it. please I need help. its just odd that only one out of four makes noise.

    does it sounds like it hitting the top of the strut tower? did you use bump stops?
