Wierd rattles and noise

After 6months with the Evo i think there is something wrong with it. The car just doesnt feel as stiff as it did when i bought it. I hear alot of creaking noises( sounds like the body is flexing or something is really loose) The ride just doesnt feel right anymore it sort of feels bumpy/unstable.....does anybody know what this could be.

rotate the tires... for some reason my car started feeling loose when i didnt follow the proper rotating schedule... every 20-30% of the tire thread...

see if that works if you havent rotated yet...

Welcome to life lol, bushings and mounts break in, springs etc and you get used to the car.

Replacing all the rubber mounts/bushings with poly will definitely stiffen things back up but honestly...if you're worried about the car feeling "loose" after only a year then you're not going to be happy either way. Even poly mounts break in and get a little bit softer...honestly I think its just that you're getting used to the car, when I first bought my evo I thought it was so razor sharp in the handling department...but now I bought coilovers because I wanted even more because the stock stuff got dull to me.
