Any clunking with the rear sway bar?

Nope, no clunking. Not sure what happens with them where they clunk..</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Car looks clean man! Usually I stray away from mods/colors that don't look stock, but I think the white rims suit the car nicely. <br />
<br />
Would you guys say the clunking is what a normal person would describe as "squeaky springs?" I have the rear sway bar and over bumps I get a lot of squeaking out of the rear end, but I figured it was the sway bar bushings. This "clunk" has me intrigued though as I have read about the fix before, but never a great description of what the clunking is.</div>

it sounds as if the springs themselves are moving. kind of a clunk/squeak sound

Yeah I keep reading that...what did you notice was the best improvement with the ECU?</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Smoother acceleration and it seems like a slight faster acceleration but it might be just cuz it's smoother. Stock it felt like the p5 struggles at times to accelerate with this it's like kicking it in the butt <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> it's definitely worth it but its up to you and what your priorities are. But don't expect to notice a huge difference just a pleasant difference just like every other bolt on they all add up...definitely do it no matter if its now or later...hope that helps</div>
