Possibly your bushings, make sure the sway bar attachment hardware is tight and lubricate the bushings with silicone spray.

I would say talk to your installer, but I already spoke to myself and I told myself I installed them correctly, and its purely driver error. Possibly passenger error, but I wont go there...

I would first check for any key marks, and then proceed from there...

got under the car and there are no marks as to where the car bottomed out. going to get some new rotors and pads up front as my front rotors have nice grooves in them.

so after reading s2ki a little more about what vanishing point said. i found this....

"Symptom of wheel bearing/hub issue: intermittent grinding/squeaking sound from wheel at low speeds when off throttle Sound increases proportional to speed until about 35mph when the sound goes away. Sounds almost like a warped rotor rubbing, but applying brakes does not affect the sound at all."

now i have a warranty on my car from honda cars of mckinney. does anyone think they'll give me any shit for having the car lowered as far as warranty coverage goes?

hopefully its just the shims in the brakes as mentioned earlier but if not im going to take it to honda and see if they will warranty it.
