I know what you mean I can't stand any suspicious noises, they get on your nerves I had an MG ZR 160 before this talk about noises and rattles. Didn't have a problem with the head gasket which is the major common fault just everything else, the most annoying car I've ever owned. Put up with that for over 2 years. You'll get there mate joys of motoring:lol:

Yeah 100% knocking front passanger side when driving slow but also both sides ping when turning form stand still. Also abit of play in wheel if you wobble it when parked and makes a noise.
lol had my fair share of problems with many fords over the years but this is a guessing game at the min. No garage can find a problem with it

Seems like you covered everything, I would put it back to standard, if it's o.k then when standard maybe there was something wrong with the suspension that you put on whether springs, coilovers etc otherwise I'm a bit stumped. Have you used uprated camber bolts/adjustable camber arms etc?

I have this exact same problem mate had it for 11 month since i also lowered it 35mm, knocking on left side front when i hit a dip or uneven road like a clunkin metal on metal sound, we are beginning to think there the wrong springs as there also moving about in the housing as they should never do. Im also stumped.

I know this may well have been checked but you have mentioned your top mounts on the front suspension but have you checked at the bottom? I recently got under my girls Merc as she was experiencing knocking sounds from the front.
The cause of the knocking was the very bottom part of the spring snapping off and just lying there pinging around in the lower mounts. This was front and back on the drivers side.
Have you checked this? Also have you checked all heat shields? Panels and cables. EP3s tend to do alot of knocking around if any of these things are missing clips or not correctly secured.

Need longer camber bolts http://www.cplracing.co.uk/products.php?productid=127
Did you refit the spring 'socks'/covers to the lower part of the spring? The tighter coils in the spring can knock together, these covers stop the annoying noises
.You could be chasing quiet knocks/bumps for a long time, at a lot of cost. IMO, if the MOT and services come back clear, and there are no obvious signs of wear, I'll accept them as a side effect to lowering
