Question for those with Cusco Rear Lower Tie bar on GC8
I've been getting this strange rattling noise from the rear of the car sometimes when I lift throttle in 1st-3rd or other conditions... it comes sporadically and it's really hard to describe. What it sounds like to me is the rear differential rattling against the rear tie bar. I was wondering if anyone who has the bar has had any noise coming due to the diff rattling against the bar? Since it is very close to the rear diff....
No adverse effects yet but just worries me.... need to get the car in the air and inspect the bar to see if this is the case....

I think either a hangar or a piece inside my muffler was rattling and now has broke loose and is clanking around making now a squeeking sound... Gonna get the muffler replaced and then see if it persists... the sound changed from a rattle to a squeeking sound a few days ago... but it seems to be coming from the exhaust rather then the suspension since it sometimes will do it when the car is just idling sitting still and it sounds like a piece of metal pinging around in the exhaust... just really annoying...

Cusco front lower arm bars for GC8 are rare but they do exist. I'm not sure of they fit the RS with the 2.5 motor though since they were designed for JDM GC8's with the EJ20...

I am thinking about getting the rear tie bar, and perhaps the front (Cusco's version 2) as well. Is anyone using the front, and willing to give your opinion on the merits of these parts?

Thanks for the word on the rear bar. I saw a front tie bar on the Nukabe Site: http://www.napsusa.com/napsusa/660-477-A-.html/
, which they claim is for the GC8, and that's why I asked. I'll give them a shout and ask for a verification that it is in fact a GC8-compliant part, and let you know. I'll also ask their opinion of it's performance value.

Edit begins here: Same can be said for JDM front Sway bars.
