Question Loss of torque issues???

I dropped my coupe about three months ago on some tanabe DF210s. The drop is amazing and ive gotten nothing but compliments on it. It handles a lot better then the stock sport-tuned springs. The problem with lowering; as im sure those who have can relate, are speedbumps, dips, entrances/exits and so on. I have mastered the angle-ing in technique but sometime you just grind

My issue is I have grinded my front bumper a couple times. No biggie. No major damageat all. I have grinded my rear stabalizer bar as well. No harm done, just some scratches on the paint. But at times when I have angled in the car over those speedbump peaks, I felt like it hit something hard a couple times in the font while im on the bump.

My car since the drop has made a chattering noise from the flywheel when I cold start the car. It fades away as soon as I get off the clutch and doesnt come back at all. I have no idea what my be causing the problem and im not blaming the drop. I feel like my car has lost some torque. It doesnt feel as quick as it used to. Maybe someone can shed some light on what they think the issue may be

***BTW im lookin for a aftermarket flywheel (used/new) as well as res TP pref used. PM me

Lowering only causes a change in rear half shaft angle and the usual destructive suspension misalignments and bumper steer problems.

im not sure..... the noise u are hearing i have it also... and ive got a brand new transmission and clutch.......to me it sounds like a throw out/pilot bearing... but maybe its normal since all of my parts are new(but i dont know if infiniti clutch kits come with throw out/pilot bearings).... as far as loss of torque... its got nothing to do with the drop....perhaps your just getting use to the car?

Maybe. Ive had it for awhile but it just feels off since the noise. I know its not the drop. I just wonder if the drop caused me hitting something that might be causing the noise I here and the loss of torque/hp that I feel
