i don't know how common it is, but i figured that I didn't mind spending the money on a replacement one of higher quality and was a quick replacement. Now I never have to worry at all.How common is the coolant res tank leak on our cars? Is this mod a must do because they all crack?
A couple people had theirs leak a few months after purchase and it got labeled as an epidemic.How common is the coolant res tank leak on our cars? Is this mod a must do because they all crack?
Ayyyeee fellow Virginia PWP homie. Do you ever go to Dulles cnc?Acuity shift boot collar arrived today. I also removed the black vinyl from the rear A-mark assembly for a higher contrast look.

God those seats look marvelous. I don't like the stock seats in this car at all. I'm not a big dude and the FL5 seats fit me like a glove so the stock ITS ones don't support me very well at all.- PRL coolant reservoir
- some Recaro neck cushions
- bought the Apexi N1 Evo cat-back
hopefully next weekend, I can install the PRL front-pipe and Apexi catback

I feel like I might need to get spacers for the winter when I have the OEM wheels back on. I've only been half-paying attention but now that tons of people seem to be putting these on their cars, I recall seeing that some were having issues with the OEM studs hitting the wheels in some cases? I would send them back immediately if that were the case as these are not a permanent solution for me and I have zero interest in trimming down my OEM studs... so can someone explain the likelihood of this and why some people may have to deal with it and some don't?Got my 15mm Bonoss spacers installed today in preparation for my Eibach pro kit install next week. I also ceramic coated my calipers while I had the wheels off. Hoping it makes it easier to clean off the brake dust, lol. I can definitely see why people say the spacers make you want to drop the car, it fills out the fenders but leaves you wanting to close the gap at the top.

If you’re using spacers with your OEM wheels (which is really the only reason to use spacers, otherwise just get a more appropriate offset AM wheel), you’ll be fine. The OEM wheels have cutouts that allow the factory studs to recess, so no worries there. My winter wheels are +45, so they’ll sit at the same spot as my OEM wheels+spacers.I feel like I might need to get spacers for the winter when I have the OEM wheels back on.

Also yes, ceramic coating has made a pretty significant difference on the calipers- but it's not a miracle cure for brake dust that you can just spray some water on there and it's gone. You do still need to clean them it just makes it that much easier and for me has all but eliminated the "caked on" brake dust and I'm not even that consistent with cleaning. Definitely worth doing.
