Default A week after installing my H&R's..

So it's been a little over a week since installing my springs on my AWD IS250. I've noticed a slight single click every once in awhile when going slow in the parking garage, or making a sharper turn while going slow.

I checked the CV boots for tears or leaks but it looks perfectly dry around there. I measured the height from ground to middle of the fender at it's highest point and it was 25.7".

I don't see it being the CV axles/boots because I'm not THAT low. Anything else it could be?

I have no vibrations at a stop or acceleration.. Nothing else feels different other than a single click as mentioned above. It's not a continuous click. Thanks

Might be your brakes. I had a single click in my old car once in awhile. Never thought too much of it though.

Reading various forums on this issue, a lot of people have said it was their brakes as well. Did you ever find out exactly what it was?

It's not a big deal to me as long as its not the CV boots. I only hear it when my windows are down and music is off. I can live with it, but if its a simple fix, I'd like to get rid of the noise.
