    I just recently had Novitec springs installed. Car looks amazing and drives like it's on rails but I don't know if the stiffer suspension has revealed a slight rattle in the area of the left-hand side infotainment system. If I push on the side of it when it's rattling, the rattle disappears. I haven't had a chance to really investigate what I can do to fix it but has anybody else had this issue? Here is a picture for reference of the area that is rattling.

    The lower left panel can be removed to gain access to the fuse box behind. You may want to remove it and inspect for any looseness of that panel installation. Use felt to fill the gap if necessary.

    There was a thread on how to remove that panel to access fuse box ..

    I noticed same when using AC
    Possibly plastic contraction loosening caused some rattle
    How much lower did you go with the Novitec? Pics of ride height?

    I went about 1.75" lower in the front and about 1" lower in the rear.
