since i fitted my 16"s and my suspension kit(-60mm) the road noise inside my car has increased a lot, i did expect it to increase but not this much, is this usual or is my car nackerd?!!

also i have noticed that when i am traveling along, if i take it out of gear, it starts to make a whhooooo sort of noise as it begins to slow down, any ideas what this may be??

cheers,

Whoo Noise could be one of your tappets, check them out, they are little finger like things, if its the noise im thinking of.

The Noise could be due to quite a low drop, pot-holes more noticeable etc unless your talking about physical engine noise????

Whats a VTS then??

the increased width of the tyers will account for the increase in road noise.

big wheels and hard suspension show up probs with bearings/bushes they are probably shot
