Dude keep an eye on your stock swaybar links, one of mine was fkd after getting the Whiteline sway bars installed.

Had it replaced today with a factory one, but if it happens again ill upgrade to Whiteline aftermarket links - I was told the same as you, not required on MY11/12 but seems thats not the case!

Front/Rear?
Running OEM rear end links with a 20mm swaybar and haven't had any issues at all.

Front.

Had Subaru check it when they were fixing another issue. It had been making a few noises but to be honest I was told the aftermarket swaybars do. Turns out it was broken.

You probably dont need to do anything but if they do break just go whiteline.

b32: was it a creaking/knocking noise at low speed braking, going over slight bumps and slow turning?

Yep pretty much, knocking at slow speeds, usually when the car twisted, IE going up ramps on an angle to avoid scrapping front lip.

Righto - sounds like new endlinks are in order then as that is exactly what my car is doing.

Followed u down leach hwy this arvo.
She certainly rolls very nice. I'm normally not a fan of this model, but urs does looks tough. Are the front guards sti ones or flarred?
The "flaps" are a nice touch imo.
Overall looks to be a well set up package.
Nice work

Oh really? You mustn't have been driving a rex? otherwise i would have spotted you for sure haha. Cheers. It's an MY11, they come standard with the whole STI body kit. The way i see it, the flaps should only be put on the hatches they just need them to look more complete i reckon!
