idk how to explain it like when I'm driving theres a scratching noise coming from there. I'm really nervous. I'm on the verge of going up the street in the morning have having a garage take a look at it and just pay them way to much for them to fix something prob very simple.
Its almost like a rattling/ scratching noise

its not tire rubbing noise*

You seem to have an abundance of money for fixing the car but not modding it haha wish I could help but I can't even picture the noise you're talking about.

I guess first off make sure everything is tight down.

Does it get louder with speed?
Does it happen only when u hit bumps?
No it actually goes away i think with speed, or it just drowns out. and idk i stayed away from bumps after it started. but i did once or twice and it didn't sounds good ;/

Check your metal dust shield behind your rotor. You might have bent it or pushed it in while installing the shocks and it could be rubbing or scraping your rotor. Worth a check.
