I have the Whiteline sways front and rear and have not had this noise problem. I will say, however, that the lateral locks do not prevent the rear bar from shifting, it shifts in the rear and rubs on my exhaust (slightly) after a few hard corners on the track... then you get a noise! The bars are awesome, but this is annoying

u got the stock nismo exhaust or other aftermarket exhaust? Will this happen to the oem also ? Cant believe that whiteline didnt think about this!

im loving the whitelines...

got them set to stiffest on both front and back - dramatically improved my handling in all corners.

Whiteline do make great stuff and we never had any complaints from our customers before on these sway bars.

his sig says he has Fast Intentions exhaust.

MY question is do only whitelines rub on the FI exhaust?

id like to know this too

My exhaust is from Fast Intensions... the clearances may be different than the stock exhaust. I used hose clamps (I know, lame) to stop the locks from sliding and it works perfectly now. I also rotated the exhaust bends at the joints slightly to provide more clearance.

Attended an AutoX event last weekend, really slid through the corners hard, the sways (with my awesome hose clamp mod) never slid or rubbed.

These really are AMAZING

Can anyone tell me if the rear end links are needed?

I can pick them up, but not sure if I should or not.

Thanks in advance.

I would highly suggest them. They will allow you to get maximum performance from your bar.

Great MB, thanks a lot man, I'll order them asap :)

EDIT: Just ordered, from KamiSpeed :)

The rear end links really do help.

Ability to stay in nutral setting really lets the rear sway bar do it's job much better.

Totally worth it, thanks a lot for the advice.

^ mine did the same thing, I tried to get it to fit perfectly inside the bracket but it would always pop out slightly like that on the drivers side only. Roughly 5k miles and a track day later no issues.

Mine is the same,had the lateral locks placed close to it though.

Hmmm....This makes me wonder about the Hotchkis bars and I may need to make a switch. I assume Hotchkis would do wonderful on full track cars running on R-comps but on street tires (Direzza II's, RE-11s, RS3s for Example) will it be too much? I have really crap street tires right now and the Hotchkis on the rear set on soft was still too much for them so I've actually swapped back to OEM. Was going to see how the car reacted once I swapped to better tires with the hotchkis bar.
