Default *sigh* annoying suspension noise

Decided to drive the GT3 to work today and there is some crazy annoying noise coming from the front. Like crazy with a capital F. There's an insane high pitched squeaking and a periodic rattle as well. Sounds like some of the plasitc was rubbed off the springs and they are now going ballistic on the spring perches.

I normally don't care about noises from the 3, as it has its own "character," but for some reason today it was driving me BONKERS!

It's telling you that it's time to upgrade the stock suspension

We are on a road trip right now and I have picked up lots of cage groans on the mountain passes coming into Blowing Rock, NC. Pretty surprised actually. Had the same Dasport bar in the TT and it never made a peep.

Sometimes moving your seats up a fraction of an inch (so they aren't touching the roll bar) fixes roll bar creaks. Sometimes not.

Neither seat is touching the rollbar. These noises are up high at the joints.
