Car is a 2024 with 18000 miles. Just installed spoon springs. Did regular commute driving after install and started to hear a clunking/clicking noise. I got the car on a lift and rechecked all bolts for correct torque. Everything was correct. Then I used a jack to lift the passenger rear an arm and I noticed clicking noise coming from the right sway bar end link. I’m thinking of replacing the end link, hopefully the clicking noise stops. Thoughts?

If it's coming from the sway bar end link you may need adjustable end links. When I was lowered on my old civic sport, there was a lot of clunking prior to getting adjustable end links. Ideally you'd just tape a camera there and see what was clunking

when you retorqued all the bolts down after install, did you do it with the car on the ground? if you tightened everything up with everything at full droop, that can cause binding, clunking sounds, and premature bushing wear.
