OP car looks great BTW OEM aero front lip??

Thanks! Yup, OEM aero front lip, GT2 side skirts and Techart Rear Wing - kind of a mish mash but works for me.

Found the noise. It was those rubber covers on the springs - they weren't positioned properly when installed. Thanks everyone for the assistance

Much appreciated.

What do you mean by "not positioned properly"? Car is at the shop getting these installed now and want to avoid this. Thx

Those black rubber covers wound around the front springs have to sit a certain way, I was told. I am not sure what the tech meant. I will try to ask him.

great, glad to hear it was a simple fix.

Now that yours are properly positioned you may be able to help out Zero Cool by posting a pic of your springs through the wheel well so he has a good reference of what "positioned properly" looks like
