Had a chance to check out my grinding noise this morning. I took a good look, loaded the suspension and turned the wheels and nothing. I did kind of bend back the brake shield on the side making noise. In the end after dorking around with it for an hour I didn't have anything conclusive. Took the car back out and beat on it, no more noise... I guess I fixed it.

I did the same parking lot tests I did with the Whiteline bar on its two settings and the Strano bar seems not quite as stiff as the Whiteline on its "21mm" setting. My parking lot test is a mock slalom, stock tires. Both bars mad the car feel a lot more stable than stock. I'm at like 1/16" total toe in.
