Is blowing the struts a common problem when installing springs?

It depends on how you remove the springs.

I went with the 2nd method.

I installed the homelink mirror awhile back, but the mount adapter rattled afterwards. Today I fixed the rattle by tapping the adapter plate for the next size bigger screws:

P.S. I thought the auto-dimming feature didn't work, but when I used a flashlight to shine into the rear-facing sensor while blocking the front facing sensor I found that it will dim. Maybe with my tinted windows and black interior the auto-dimming just doesn't normally trigger.

Picked up my BRZ from having the Xpel Clear Bra installed. Looks fantastic!

Standby. Someone is going to ask for a photo.

Changed the oil & filter and installed my Fumoto Quick Change valve (6,500 miles). Removed the Dimple magnetic oil drain plug I installed at the first change at 1,300 miles. Here's what was stuck to the magnetic drain plug. What you see on the paper towel is the metal goo that I wiped off the plug. Name: DSCN6745Resize.jpg

Also installed my Dash Cover which fits really well. Made by DashCare.com and it is the #51 Black Velour material.

Couple of things. Clear bra, and windows tinted yesterday. Today I switched out the stock exhaust tips with the DC Sports EX-1017B model tips that have an oval shape to them. I am thinking about different exhaust down the road, but this was a cheap and easy mod to tide me over:

Nothing spectacular, but about 2 hours of detailing work to make it shine like brand new. It was a fantastic way to spend my Saturday morning, believe it or not. Nice cup of coffee, and some Led Zeppelin playing in the garage.

Looks great! WRB is a beautiful color. Some days I wish I would have held out for that color, but I do love my SWP as well. That sounds like my garage too. Still listening to Zeppelin after all of these years...

Had to put my front license plate on (with Grimmspeed bracket, of course) because work security pulled me over yesterday morning stating they would "big this a big issue" if I didn't put the plate on.

Today, I am at work and I wasn't pulled over.
