Mine did as well, so I got rid of them bastards. The stock ones are holding up just fine for me.
 
^^Yeah that is why I was asking. I have the AWR rear bar and to be honest I'd rather go with non adjustable endlinks and the racing beat rear sway, than to have to deal with the noise the endlinks on the AWR make(eekdance). I'm trying to get rid of some of the noise so I don't want to add another.
 
I used to have the AWR rear swaybar before I bought my Racing Beat front/rear. The AWR bar was nice, but clunked way too much and I wasn't too happy w/ the adjusting block screws being rusted so I adjust it anymore.

I'm very much happier w/ the Racing Beat setup IMO. The car is more balanced.

I'm sure these GT Spec components will compliment our setups perfectly.

To be honest, I think all 4 rattle. Everything is tight with all bushing in the proper place! I called AWR and TOny said something about a bushing on the front link working its way out of place...whatever. I might put the stockers back on soon. Nothing else from them clunks or rattles (including the rear AWR sway bar)...

Me too, I may put the stockers back on soon too!
 
I own a 2003.5 P5 and found the frame "knubs" or protrusions that was spoken here. All that was needed to be done for fitment of the ladder bar was to indeed grind these down. They are simply drainage holes with a lip. They will still drain after you grind down the lip. Here are my photos of the process.

The car turns much better with it in. I didn't grind down my drain nubs. I just used the stock washers as spacers. Looks good!

so you guys say you notice a difference with this bar then over the stock brace?
the day i installed mine i did a before and after run on a twistie road by my work and i could tell right away.

the only thing is now I feel the true characteristics of he stock dampers. which is okay, but some tokicos would be better.

thats what i did too. the lower tie bar makes noises like a nympho. wish i knew if the sounds could be gotten rid of. it clunks on uneven surfaces....usually when turning.
