Does anyone know if there are any front struts available without the spring perches? I have been struggling for years trying to get my S550 lowered properly in a fashion where the left and right are even and the front is just a tad lower than the back. After struggling with one particular brand...

Hey everyone, I have had a set of progressive lowering springs on my car for the last 3 years. I've never been able to get the ride height correct (left side is great, but right front is significantly higher than the left front and right rear). The ride is acceptable, but definitely on the stiff...

Hey everyone, I recently had to replace my battery (3.5 years old) which is no big deal. BUT, when I pulled off the plastic battery cover I was surprised to see a chonk-load of corrosion around the negative battery terminal. I cleaned it off and replaced the battery and everything is fine...

Hey everyone, I’m writing a guide for my Rockford Fosgate Punch 12 powered subwoofer installation. There seems to be lots of information scattered through this forum but I have yet to see a comprehensive guide that covers all the power, ground, and speaker connections with pictures in one...

Hey guys, I am planning on purchasing and installing a remanufactured manual transmission for my other car (a Scion tC) because my current trans is pretty much toast (these mid-00s Toyota transmissions have a reputation as being made of glass, pretty much). Anyway, I've never done this job...

Hey guys, I have a Black Box G1-W (I think that's the model #) that I've had mounted and hard-wired into my Mustang for almost a year now. It works great except that the suction cup mount keeps falling off. It used to happen infrequently but now I can't seem to make it through a day without...

EDIT: nevermind, I got it (eventually). I'm installing a spacer on my right-rear spring and I can't get the subframe to jack up all the way so that the subframe bolt hole bosses mate up to the car's frame. I jack up the subframe and it gets almost all the way, probably about 1/2" away and...

Apologies if this has already been covered (I tried searching), but can someone verify that I'm understanding the install of the Steeda camber plates correctly? At first I presumed that the top portion of the plates (the V-shaped bracket) goes on top of the chassis tower, but it looks like the...

Hey guys, A couple of months ago I lowered my car with a set of springs which are supposed to give a slightly forward raked stance. Unfortunately, it didn't work out and I have a very lopsided ride with a forward raked stance on the left side and a rearward raked stance on the right! I'm not...

Hey guys, I have the premium package with Sync 3 and now that my free Sirius subscription is over I have a rather annoying problem which I can't find an answer to (I searched). The presets for Sirius are still there in my audio input section of the touch screen and when I cycle through the...

Hey everyone, I'm having a bit of a freak-out and I'm hoping someone (preferably a mechanic on here) can give me a bit of advice before I have a heart attack. I have been installing some new lowering springs and subframe alignment bushings this weekend. I was doing the rears today and when I...

I read this interesting article on Jalopnik about the next-gen ecoboost V6 truck engine: http://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/the-2017-ford-f-150-will-debut-with-a-whopping-450-lb-f-1774503136 The most interesting part to me was the fact that it's getting dual injection (port & direct). I wonder...

Hey everyone, apologies if this is information that's already been shared (I did a search and couldn't find anything). I have noticed that in most of the dash cam install DIYs (or similar projects) people have been running their ground wires to one of several threaded studs in the immediate...

Hey guys, I'm trying to do the Mishimoto catch can install and I can't get the lower quick disconnect fitting to let go. I have tried everything. I watched Mishimoto's absolutely worthless install video (a topic for another time), then I watched Games&Gears's youtube install video which was...
