Do you have camber plates? I noticed a great increase in impact noise from my racesang cascam. Probably because it deletes the rubber insulator from the top hat.

I also have rattle from speaker grill sometimes. I heard that is fixed in later cars with updated speaker grill part #.

Other than that I don't notice anything. The car is noisy in general as it doesn't hardly have sound deadening. But it is far from unbearable IMO

it almost sounds like they installed the suspension wrong at the factory. Does it sit in a garage or outside?

No camber plates.

I fixed the speaker grill rattle by placing foam around the slots where grills click into.

It sits outside, is rusted a lot as I mentioned in the previous post.

I test drove a 18' 50th Anniversary BRZ yesterday, it has the same Primacy's but Brembo calipers. Suspension setup appears to be the same too but the difference was night and day. I had the sales rep ride along with me in both cars and he didn't take me seriously when I first mentioned these issues before the TD but after the TD, he agreed the issues are present and took me straight to the service dept and got me booked an appointment with a subaru service rep for the coming friday. I have to see how it goes.
