Very nice build! Out of curiosity, considering all of the miles (track and street), how's the car holding up? Any major issues over the 50K miles?

Thanks!!!

I've run into two repeat issues, which are also my only real problems. Breaking the CV joint in the rear axel (both times passenger) and coil packs causing misfire. But those are pretty minor IMO. I'm over 70k miles at this point.

Glad to know some of the early cars are lasting well! Out of curiosity, what tune are you on? Did your dealership ever update it for you, or are you still on the original 2012 build date ones?

It's been flashed by the dealer at least once. But still on a stock tune.

That'll change soon. Hoping to do header back plus a tune this winter.

Damn. Sorry to hear that. Hope it's something cheap and easily fixed.

I just wanted to be between where I am and where you are as far as height goes

Pretty low. My guess is about 2 inches. Make sure you keep the salt off those coils so they don't seize up!
