Not sure if it's the struts or the swaybar.
    same noise as i get, cant hear it once moving at like 10km+

    nah mine is most prominent when I take off from a standing start and the weight of the car shifts backwards off the front end, that's when I hear it.

    on vortex.. they say if your low dont worry about the sway bar as it wont make much difference without it.
    seems to be a issue if your lower then a certain hieght its always going to be a problem

    I just raised mine up yesterday about 10-12mm and it's now all good on the swaybar rubbing front. I feel dirty for having raised it though

    I wish I could just remove it BL33SU, but I dont think im US low just yet...
    I lifted my car 3cm+ the other day (should be getting up not far below stock) still rubbing and groaning.
    then dropped it back to where I was, plus another cm or so, and its sweet! still some weird noises coming from up front, but now I believe the strut bearings and bushes.
    So I have nooooo idea whats going on

    they say a lot of things on vortex, don't take it as gospel, I thought about removing my swaybar but after talking to a few different people I decided against it, it's there for a reason.
