Its just road noise - from low profile tires, stiffer suspension and the hard mounts (vs. rubber) on the dog bones (RSS).

Its not a squeak or squeal or anything like that. I hope that helps - hard to describe Sort of like when you put a mud tire on a truck you just get some more road noise.

Porsche tend to always have a little road noise - they are sports cars - it just gets a little bit more prevalent with what i've done but by no means not bearable. I mean at the end of the day its a sports car - if you want quiet buy a luxury car.

It does - but its safe. I had a race shop set it up and corner weight it. Been running this setup for almost a year now. No issues, no rubbing, and very minimal scraping - only on my front chin spoiler on very steep driveways

ok that i can tolerate. I was just curious to know difference in noise between installing the dog bones vs. stock.

To be honest it wasnt much - I think the coil overs created more road noise than the RSS bars did

What I love about the RSS bars - besides proper alignment - is the rear end feels solid now = where before it felt loose (due to the rubber bushings). I am very happy with them!
