I had min on. The issue I had is on small inclines and sometimes flat ground it is to aggressive and you have to use more clutch/throttle then needed before it lets go. Drive with it for a while and report back. I had mine on fo a month or two and it became annoying.

Thanks for that input. I'll definitely play with it for a couple of months and see.

See that's where I'm glad I have a 2016. There's no light for it on my gauge cluster

they also tend to leak out more consistently than they keep the battery juices in, which is a massive pain to clean up...

for an extra $0.45/battery, you can get a genuine name brand battery that will last at least 2 years minimum.

Moog RK100136 are reboxed SPC LCA. Ordered from rockauto. They were $120cad cheaper shipped than branded SPC through FT86MS.
Even Napa uses SPC lower control arms and toe arms. Also reboxed with Napa part numbers.

I've never seen a lithium CR type battery leak. I have seen AA and AAA Energizer and Duracell alkaline batteries leak.
You linked to the wrong battery, a CR2032, my fob takes a CR2016, and your math is incorrect.

Your math is still wrong since you forgot sales tax, 9.75% in TN.
So, $5.40 + $0.53 tax = $5.93/4 = $1.48 per battery
$1.00 + $.10 tax = $1.10/2 = $0.55 per battery
$1.48 - $0.55 = $0.93 difference per battery

A more realistic comparison, 2 for 2. I don't need 4 batteries and do not have Amazon Prime.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Duracell-...-Pack/45836598 $5.23 on Amazon.
$5.48 + $.53 tax = $6.01/2 = $3.01 per battery
$1.00 + $.10 tax = $1.10/2 = $0.55 per battery
$3.01 - $.55 = $2.46 difference per battery

And where are the Duracell batteries made. China.

Quality is different though. And that is the root of the entire argument to not buying cheap batteries.

Installed LCAs and tried to get camber as close to original setting as possible. Alignment booked on Thursday.
Spent an hour fiddling with it to get the wheel straight.
