Loud thumping when turning

For the past few thousand miles, going around turns at about any speed, my car has been making loud thumping sounds, vibrating everything in the car.

I figured it was just my tires since they were extremely bald and I needed new ones asap. The side tread was in pretty bad shape

So today I got some new Yokohama s.drive tires, hopin all the sounds and vibrantions would stop, but it didnt. Should I just let the tires break in a little bit, or could it be something more..like the struts? I am lowered with eibach sportlines.

Any help would be great, thanks.

When did the noise start? after you got the Sportlines? It could be struts, it could be endlinks.....could be a bad axle.
