Not too stiff, not too soft.. right in the sweet spot.

Thank you. Yeah I had BC extreme low and wasn't a fan. Are you maxed out or can you go any lower. That height is perfect imo though!

Right now, its maxed out in the front and plenty of room to play in the rear. I plan on getting some LCA's for the rear to make the rear more flush since it's cambering naturally at the moment. Yeah, my BC's on the bmw made so many noises and rode pretty stiff even at the lowest damp setting.

How do you like those Cusco Strut Tower Bars? I was going to get front and rear ones but was talked out of it. I guess because they aren't one solid piece they don't do what they are supposed to do? What has been your experience?

Tbh, I installed them for more of cosmetic purposes w/ the whole 'blue' and 'polished' theme. What I did notice was a better 'brake feel' if you will. But I'm not sure if that was all in my head. As far as body roll etc, I can't determine if thats from my suspension setup as a whole including the strut bar or not. What I do know is that the setup together w/ coils feels much better than stock in cornering

I took out the metal ring with the notch that sits inside the quick release.. Then I used a flathead screwdriver to wedge the pins on the horn into the center. Fairly simple process when you take out the ring.

Christmas week consisted of the new steering wheel install and a fumoto quikvalve. Surprisingly, with all the horror posts on here about steering wheel issues.. It was fairly simple and only took about 30-35min. First oil change for this car not done by the stealership, looking forward to using the fumoto in 5-7k.

Those enkeis really compliment the silver ignition! Nice clean build!

Try putting in 2 clips first (1 being the bottom clip).. Then use a flat head to get the last pin wedged in. It'll fit, you just gotta mess with it. Good luck!
