    For those that are lowered ...

    Has anyone experienced longterm negative effects from entering/exiting semi-steep driveways while lowered? I can usually hear the frame "flex" when doing so and I'm hoping it's nothing major that can cause future problems. Thanks!

    It's prob not the frame. I'd say it's the control arms you hear.
    They are at an increased angle for sure. Even the adjustable ones.

    It's definitely coming from above near the sunroof. I was worried it would lead to rattling in the future.

    I have an annoying rattle somewhere around my driver door panel / b-pillar area. Drives me nuts.

    I guhave as I'm extremely lucky. I've had a Q5 and now an SQ5, both lowered, and never heard a peep from my sunroof.
