Hey everyone, I recently installed the Skunk2 Pro ST kit on my 2020 Si and ever since then I've been hearing some weird creaking noises in the rear. I've gone over everything 3, 4, 5 times and it all looks ok. Bolts are tightened, everything is in place....seems to happen randomly. I am going to have someone look it over but was wondering if anyone with the same kit has had anything similar or if anyone may have some ideas as to what may cause it? I thought it was the perch but that is ok. Any ideas would be great. Thanks!

aftermarket suspension makes noises many times... my advice to forget about it... it is probably sway bar...

not the rear sway bar, already replaced with Sirimoto bar and endlinks. Triple checked those, everything is good.
