When im driving with a few people in the car, there is a sound coming from like the back or middle of the car that sounds like plastic rubbing something rough. It may not be plastic at all but thats just the sound. I have no freakin clue what this is but its embarassin when there are people in the car asking me when the car is going to fall apart b/c of this noise. Any ideas?

Sounds like your tires are hitting the inside of your fenderwell. Check the outside wall of your tires for marks. It has a sound that is like what you're explaining. It will probably make this noise when conrnering or hitting a bump. Let us know.

Yeah mine is lowered. I haven't thought to look at where some of the cables and stuff ended up... The tires still look fine on the outside im gonna jack the car up soon and see about the inner side of the tires to see if there is anything goin on. Its weird though about the tires rubbing b/c the drop isn't too severe and the tiny tires and rims the car came with are still a fair amount away from the fender well. But hey, im out of ideas so i'm jumping on everything. thanks guys

And the fix is rear upper control arm bushings. The bushings are cheap but the work is a bitch, so do yourself a favor and just buy new stock upper arms and the noise will disappear.
And yes you can get under there and try to grind the bracket down on the E brake cable but that will not solve to problem when you have weight in the car.
