bring it to the dealership or another shop to inspect the installation. Just saying, it isn't rocket science but the rear has a spring clip that can be installed in different positions based on the length of the springs which is dependent if you have PASM or not. If the spring clip is placed in the wrong spot there wouldn't be enough pre-load on the springs through the length of travel and you would get clunking noises on occasion

thank you, however, 90% of the noise is coming from the front struts…

another option is coilovers to get the desired ride height and to properluy lower imo. when it's time, i'll go with the bilsteins that retain factory pasm and are compatible with fal.

My son and I are in the car modification business in Southern California. Bumper2Bumper.com. We are Techart dealers. We lowered my 2022 TTS with Techart HAS and have had not only a pretty bad choppy ride, but also the annoying clunking the poster refers to. We had the dealer take a look, and we also sent detailed photo’s to Techart, who recommended a slight modification. We uninstalled and reinstalled the springs raising the height 1/2 inch and implementing the suggestions that Techart made. All of this made absolute no difference.

it’s driving me absolutely crazy. I’m a big car guy and have lowered 20 cars in the past. The is by far the worst ride and first ever clunking I’ve experienced. By comparison, my F8 Tribuno dropped on Novitec HAS and is perfectly silent and the ride quality is incredible. Please give me your thoughts. We’re all ears.

This really shouldn't be occurring. Go back to stock. No clunks. Install a new set of Techart HAS. Go from there. If no clunks, you had a faulty set. Send it back.
