i really think it's just what it sounds like when you lower the car and have low-profile tires.... everything just gets louder.
I thought that too. Maybe Konis sound that way, but the fronts are quiet. I'm going to go and re-torque everything. Maybe I didn't preload the springs and shocks enough when I torqued it the first time. It sounds like the shocks could be loose. I definitely think it's the shocks.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions! This forum kicks ****!! I'll keep you informed if I find the culprit.
