Default Scraping from rear when cornering..2002 STI

Hi all
Having recently phurchased a 2002 prodrive sti i have noticed noises from the rear end.
When i corner to the right a scraping from the left rear appears and visa versa,this gets worse after the car has been driven with more enthusiasum.
I have changed the rear pads they were low but not worn enough to start scraping.
Has anybody had this problem.....please advise....

check for wheel bearing play and that the rear hub nuts are tight.
The hub nuts do come undone on these.

I have exactly the same noise I have replace both back bearings disks, pads,gearbox oil, diff oil,.
I am now thinking it is either the rear diff bearings or the rear diff,
the noise i have is only apparent when I go around a slow turn on overrun using the engine as a brake, also parking.
changing the diff oil today I noticed that the rear frame for the diff has loads of play in it so I am going to change the bushes, but I am going to save for a diff
