Installed the HKS carbon fiber rear strut brace. So much better than stock...

Does this eliminate the squeaking and rattling? Since adding stiffer sways i've noticed that the increased all around stiffness translates into additional squeaks and rattles from the stock rear strut. I'm considering the Cusco underbrace and an actual functional rear strut to firm things up both top and bottom.

Don’t have the hks but the cusco one, and that was one of the main reasons I installed it. It has eliminated the squeaking and rattling caused by the aluminum bar, but any rear quarter and b pillar plastic trim squeaks obviously won’t go away. But the aluminum bar was squeaking over bumps, and buzzing based on temperature changes, so resolving those alone made it worth it.

I'll let you know tomorrow. I was drinking while installing and didn't take her out for a spin. It does seem much stiffer and more structurally installed than the stock brace. Honestly, I was surprised by how little structure was on the stock bar and the bolts were a little over hand tight on the stock.

Added Carplay to my base model. Turns out it's not really that much life-changing. It surprises me that when car shopping, the 1st or 2nd question people ask is if the car has Carplay. I went back to the tire PSI screen while driving instead of Carplay. Anyways I only spent less than $50, it's fun to give it a try. And I can now answer yes to Carplay if I ever need to sell my car in the future.
