I have had my S-Tune suspension in for a few months now....only driven it for about 3 weeks, and I have a noticable creaking noise when I move the car from a stop. Does anyone have this issue witht he S-Tune or other aftermarket suspension? I'm taking it back to the dealer, as the S-tune is covered under warranty and they said that they will correct any problem and cover it under warranty.......but I'm curious to what the problem is?
I had creaking when I installed my tein flex and cusco sway bars. I also replace the rods in the rear and the front a-arms. But when it was all put back together I had some loud creaking noises. I think it is the bushings. They need to be greased or lubed up. I also noticed that after driving my car for a while, they tend to warm up and stop making the noises. Anyone else have this problem?

I think that the noise comes from my brakes......track brembos. I'll have the daeler look at this issue. I'm now developing a rattling with my windows like they are loose or something.
I have the creaking with stock suspension and non-brembo brakes on my car. I had the sound before and after my new wheels. It is annoying, been having different people listen to it to see what they think. Some have said brakes, some have said suspension. Most all think it's probably normal, but nobody really knows. I wish I knew. I don't mind weird sounds if they are normal, I just don't want to be ignoring a problem, or something that could potentially be replaced for free under warranty.
I have paid attention to several posts about suspension noise. It seems hard to avoid. The only real solutions I've read about so far is teflon tape and marine grease. If that doesn't fix the noise, assuming it is the bushings, 350EVO is supposed to have a new squeak free bushing set.
Same issue running on Eibach sways and springs. I'm also pretty sure it's the bushings. I tried spraying them with WD-40 as a temp. fix just to check but they still made noise after the lube worked it's way in. Stubborn little buggers.
