Tightened everything in the front suspension today and gave all exposed threads the FluidFilm treatment. It's nasty and looks like shit, but way better than drilling out bolts the next time I need to take them off. Doing the back later, I have other stuff to do back there when UPS gets here.

Also didn't realize how much higher the front is than the rear... Going to raise the rear a bit maybe

Don`t know what specs or suspension you run. FYI I was quoted for mine 350mm center of wheel cap to lip on rear and 355mm for the front.

HKS GTIV GT. The wonky ride height is my own goof, I set them and then never really looked back after everything settled since camber looked fine

Re-mounted my driver's side USDM fog light...

I clipped a cone at the Autoclub speedway roval on the left turn coming off the banked turn into the infield at 60MPH... deflected the bumper cover enough to let the two tabs on the inboard mount pop out. All better now and ready for Streets of Willow!

Ocvs are <9 months old, but for the rest yeah, no salt nor snow around here. After prying off the front cover and upper oil pan though, yeah this kind of sucks, hopefully I only have to do it once a decade or so.

After you polish them, spray them with clear UV protection spray paint

Krylon clear UV protection

Hah! We don't get much sun here, my polishing lasts like 7 months. It all equals out.
