So you have lowering springs. And on top of that, you cut them?

yea i cut them so my car is like a 3inch drop tires are tucking a lil bit

Not sure if this is the solution. I think it may be though. Anyone want to chime in?

For a drop, you're supposed to buy a driveshaft spacer since it stretches. With your low of a drop, I'm guessing its really stressing it.

You are probably hitting the bump stops. The car was never meant to be lowered 3". Maybe your hitting the exhaust on the ground or some other low hanging item.

If u guys know more specific ideas it would be great thanks!

i would think just lowering it 3" would cause this. even drive spacers aren't made for that much of a drop.

i read up on the driveshaft spacers its meant for s2000 that like to be really low to the ground. but im still dont know why it has a clunk noise when i go over lil bumps an pot holes

i think it is very clear that you are hitting the bump stops.
