Time for some suspension tuning

Mike, can you do an ILX spring DIY like your TLX? I just did my springs and unfortunately, after a day of having them on, I notice some clunks, clicking from the fronts after hard parking and turning the wheel at low speeds.
A detailed DIY like your TLX would help immensely as I'll have to rebuild them soon and it would help to have a guide line.
Thanks!!

On the noise, check and make sure the springs are sitting in the struts upper and lower bases. Springs should slide into the rubber gasket. Also inspect the front upper bearings/mounts and make sure they are in place correctly. Lastly, check all bolts and nuts and make sure they are all tight, specially the nut (top/center of the strut) that hold the spring and strut together.

Well, looks like 2016 ILXs front suspension is different from the 13-15 ILXs.
Changes of the front suspension includes: struts, spindles, lower control arms and much bigger front calipers & discs.
Going to be super fun .....

Pics on IG look great.
Any confirmation if the new let fogs you put on there will fit a 2013?

Definitely possible and feasible, just depends how much your shop wants to charge you. I've seen quotes from $500-$1200 for my 2015 ILX. They would pretty much chop the muffler off and weld in a Y pipe. Then extend the exhaust pipe across the spare tire bed and bend it 90 degrees towards the back. From there, weld on dual exhaust tips for both sides. Makes the car louder, but I'm not sure how much. I'm very tempted to try this, but I like my quiet car too much right now

Mike, do you really have plans to make those custome parts?
I didnt figure wed see any work after the kit vossens and drop. That would be a lot of custome work but it would look great!
