Strange noise after lowering?

Hi, I fitted 35mm H&R Springs to my Sirocco today and there is now a strange noise which comes and goes, it sounds like when you shake a spray can. I reckon its the brake disc backing plate might need readjusting. Anybody else had this?

I had a similar problem. Did you damage or notice any damage to the strut mount? A seal on the front offside strut mount had gone releasing the ball bearings creating a whistling noise at curtain speeds. This happened because I jacked it up for a few days while I painted the callipers, this released the pressure on the worn strut mount releasing the ball bearings. Maybe this could be similar to yourself?

Turns out it was as simple as a random bolt stuck between discs on the brake disc.

Looked every where in the in the area couldn't find any bolts missing, there was loads of shit on the lifter so I guess it must of there I hope!
