   Recently when iv went over any bumps there has been a loose mettalic sounding rattle from the front. Anyone got any idea what it could be? Its a 51 plate VTR lowered 60mm at the front. Thanks .

   to completely remove the anti-roll bar its two torix bolts under the car and the wo droplink bolts. get under your car and inspect your ARB bushes

   Rattling could be a snapped spring...
   
   Get it up in a high lift jack, or ramp if someone friendly has one, and tug on all the suspension components.
