So what happened was without the alignment pin, when you remove the 3 strut nuts, due to the weight of the car, gravity will pull down on the strut thus shifting the strut into max camber position because the strut hole on the chassis is Oval shaped, not circle. With the studs being shifted, the...
This finally came in. Been waiting for this and im excited that its finally here. WCLatheWerks SpoonSports Ti burnt Replica shift knob. Its a little bigger and heavier than the original design requested by me. I liked the acuity knob tbh but I want something that not many people have but still...

Fun fact, I've had this set for like 4 years now because I knew back then that I was going to have another jdm car one day as I wanted an s2k or the fk8. The flare holder is a genuine honda part and I have a set in both of my other subarus. I was looking at some install instructions of the other...
