Hello all, made an account just to ask this question. I got my springs installed on my 2018 Si last night and all my lights came on and I started to hear a lot of clunking noise while driving coming especially from the front driver side. What could this be? I attached a video for reference

If you did it yourself you probably didn’t torque everything back to spec. Find the torque spec sheets then go back and redo them. Squeeking means overtorqued unless bushings are bad and clunking means things are loose and not torqued down properly.

The lights probably means you broke or didn't properly re-attach the sensors for the adaptive suspension. Clunking can be improperly torqued fasteners, or you didn't trim the bump stops which is usually required.

make sure to torque down the center nut on the top hats after the car is on the ground. if not the strut can bump up and down and clunk.
