      Added a reply to the other thread you jumped in on. I am going to try a few things - adjusting the length of the endlink to see if it is just metal on metal from the swaybar. And I am going to try bringing the car up 1/4" - 1-2" to see if that helps. Thanks for the tips!

      Raising the car up a bit and tightening everything (found a few bolts I hadn't tightened that well, whoops) helped a ton! Still quite a bit of noise from the endlinks on ****ty roads, but nothing that the stereo can't cover over.

      Just for curiosity sake - what would the impact be of not connecting the sway bar / removing it? Just worse corner handling / grip?

      looks like removing the sway bar could add some wandering in the steering - not worth it.

      yes, definitely a squirrelly drive at highway speeds without the swaybar hooked up.

      I sounds lik much of your issue with noise is fixed. Like i have said in threads before, this isn't a "comfort" set up.

      So I actually ended up going to H&R springs, so I have an unused endlink kit / Rokkor shocks if someone would like to buy them. My boss (wife) did not like the ride quality when I dumped it, something about it jostling the baby too much.

      Which is sad, cause it looked really good an inch off the ground

      Whole set has about 50 miles on it.
