agree Arch, one of the reasons I'm selling mine; I'm going to be running a GT30 so need some compliance if I want to use the car on the road and still get the power down...lower power or just track based and I think they are hard to beat

As I said in another thread, I ran jointed Hardrace arm kit on my STi6 and they were absolutely silent. There should be no reason why a jointed arm is noisy unless a bearing is failing so generating play. If theyre fit then theres no play and so no reason for noise.

Theres a couple of options that appear to me to be superior to fitting STi products:

1) Fit uprated bushes to the original arms, both poly and uprated rubber are available
2) Fit bearings to the original arms instead of bushes
3) Fit a complete arm kit with uprated bushes or bearings that bring along the added benefits of being adjustable for length.

I dont see the point of going for the genuine OE STi product when the first two options bring with them a much lower price and the third brings additional adjustability.
