Default HELP!! Clunking with TEIN S & stock shocks on 06 S

I got an 06 Type S with TEIN S TECH springs and stock shocks. From the first day I lowered the car, I started hearing a clunking sound / noise in the front passenger side (right side) when I drive over a sewer, a hole, a crack or a bump CLUK CLUK !! 2 days after it started on the left side also but not as often. I changed my stab links but that was not it. This is enough to drive me crazy!!!!

What is a stab link? My brother has a 2004 Acura RSX and we installed H&R drop springs on it. After the install, his also made a clunking sound on the front end but I forget which side. We found that this was due to the sway bar links. So we disconnected them, drove the car around without any clunks, then reconnected at a settled ride height. The clunking came back. We then later found out that the sway bar bushings took shape to the stock ride height and created a bit of a "gap" which caused the clunking. We replaced them and no more sounds. So look into your sway bar links although I have a feeling that you meant sway bar link when you mentioned "stab link."

Why? You shouldn't if you installed them correctly.
