If you bought whiteline links watch them. I've had the nut back off several times.

Hmm... I'll have to check mine.

I ended up going with SPL on all four corners. I heard that the Whiteline end links have a habit of breaking. I torqued them down pretty hard with my impact gun, and I'll check them inna few days to make sure they're staying. Thanks for the heads up

Wish I'd have gone SPLon the rear. I'm stock on the fronts. Fronts are beefy as hell. I'd be shocked if I ever snapped one

I know the rears break a lot, I wasn't sure about the fronts but I didn't want to be halfway though the tail of the dragon at Zdayz and lose front sway bar functionality, so I bought all four just to be safe.

I'm all for overkill! One thing that's really important is to keep them greased. I hit mine every time I have the undertray off

SPL is the stuff. When I get around to upgrading the rest of my suspension it will be all SPL.

In other news. Harness bar and other parts will be ready for pickup tomorrow.

And I came up with an idea for my old strut bar. I'm going to paint it and have some carbon fibre show through. We'll see how it turns out in a few weeks.

I wish I could have someone teach me how to lay CF, I've watched videos on YouTube but it does t always explain all the questions I have. I learn by watching and doing. I'd love to cover my strut bar in white CF. And a lot of my interior pieces too.

Nope, had the original ones painted K23 to match the car. I will be getting the intake pipes powder coated dark grey/silver for contrast.

In other news. TiAL is completely useless for customer support/service. I was able to get some help from Tony at Treadstone with my BOV spring issue. He confirmed that I should be using the yellow springs in the BOVs (11psi). He has them in stock and hopefully will be shipping them out soon.

What sort of issues are you having with your BOVs? Are you running 2 seperate vac sources for them or just a single one T'ing off?

I'm using a single vacuum source and T'ing off to both BOVs. The issue I have is the BOVs will open at idle, then the car will lean out. Sometimes it will stall and throw a code (I can't remember the code) if I don't give it a gentle shot of gas.

New project? Under 100,000 kms, looks beat and the dealer wants waaaaaay too much money for it.
