So to start it off. The car drove abd mechanically ran just fine before I put mods on.

Now under a certain load or/and on deceleration I'm getting a clunking noise that sounds like something smacking or falling out of the driver side front end. It doesn't sound like its directly in the motor but it's close enough that it could be a driveline/motor/suspension issue.

I did put new lowering springs, kyb struts, and Brembo drilled rotors( I have not gotten an alignment) and yes she's a bit cambered out.

However, my oil guage reads low and if the cars rpm's dips below 900 the oil light comes on! I pulled the oil fill cap off while running and it's got plenty of oil splashing around and spitting out the fill hole. The motor sounds fine and while sitting and revving it up a bit it doesn't make any odd ball noises. It only occurs while in motion.

I've gotten under the car many times and nothing looks unhooked or broken. The only thing it looks like its ready for is ball joints.
 
Retighten lower strut mounts up front...The new Paint on them can cause them to require a retighten after just a few miles....My KYB's did anyway.
