Really tinny, metallic rattling is usually the heat shields on the exhaust. Suspension problems sound more like clunks and thuds.

That's what it is. When I hit a bump I hear dunk dunk dunk. But I put in all new struts and springs. I have lowering springs in it. Civic eg

I know its not the exhaust I just replaced all that too. Cat all the way back.

I don't know much about lowering, but I have heard that stock struts with lowering springs will bottom out internally. This ruins the struts quickly.
