The ride is good but I think I need to get an alignment done as soon as possible since my front tires seem to be making more noise for some reason even tho the car does not pull to any side. Performance wise the car feels like it gets off the line quicker with less weight transfer and also takes the turns better for sure.

What kind of noise and when does it happen, elven?
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

It just sounds like tire noise. Happens when cruising on a highway or even around town. Everything was installed correctly and it does not make noise over bumps or when turning. The noise is hard to explain but its tires making it. I ch3cked the tires and they will need replacing in the next 20k miles or so.

Alignment is a must when lowering.

Screaming tires = alignment time

Thought I was ok after my coilover install...I was wrong, even though the car went straight.

Yup they are screaming a lot, the bad thing is I just took a trip that will be about 1000+ miles long and I didnt have a chance to get an alignment until I get back. The good thing is the tires quiet down going 65+ which I have been doing. The tires will probably need replacing after this trip, it does not pull to any side.
