Default Thump on drives side when a hit bump

Hey guys, I just lowered my 2000 coupe. I rides very nice but when I hit a bump on the road a loud thump occurs> any idea what it could be?

Either you have a loose bolt you forgot, but assuming your knowlegeable you didnt do that, replace your sway bar end links, i had that in the rear on my 02 when i lowered it, replaced the links, noise gone. Good luck!

i have a similar problem on mine with the rear passenger. there is a rubber mount that goes in the top part where the coil over spring meets the body. it's like a little rest area that the spring slips into up top. mine is missing(it probably fell out) so check up the top and see if it's there. if not just get a replacement. mine cost like 3.95. however just keep in mind the difference in our cars' years they may be different. also make sure the spring sits back in properly if you need to raise and then lower the car. hope this helps.

did you lower the car yourself? If so did you cut away some of the rubber bumper stop? When I did my car (1998 accord) The instructions stated that I would need to cutt away some of the bumper stop to allow for more travel with the lower stance. If the bump stops where not cut then you may be bottoming out on the stops. I took off a third off the bump stops with 1.5" drop
