They do exist. When my dad sent in his B8s to be rebuilt for another platform they replaced them. I'm surprised you don't hear knocking if they're that bad.

Fuel trims still seem high to me at around +20 combined. If you're positive there's no leaks it'll be sorted out when you get tuned.

The front and rear frequencies shouldn't match exactly - the rear should be ~10-15% higher. Not an exact science, suspension geometry, rwd, average speeds, and damping all contribute. The FRS springs...
