ouch. another one bites the dust. get the whitelines and call it a day. it honestly changed the entire feel of the car. acceleration is so much smoother and linear now.

i dont think ive gotten 24k out of any tires on this car haha
I have a call into the dealership on the off chance they might cover it under warranty at no cost to me. Otherwise it will be the whitelines and DIY. What makes you think it would be that difficult? Getting the bushing out might take a bit of effort, but I'm good at manhandling things

I don't drive the car hard but figured while I had it out might as well do it.

BTW - Still drool over the new seats you bought...
I guess I'll have to make doubly sure they check my bushings before sending them out. I assume Joe@ZSpeed will be my best option like usual? It's gotten to the point where if ZSpeed has the product, I just stopped looking at competitor pricing because I know they won't beat Joe
