Quite happy with both the ease of application and the results of mothers cmx. It's really dumb proof. Not sure about applying it on a wet car though. Seems odd to me. I applied it on clean and dry car.

Nice pic. Wide angle, everything open, clean and colorful. Very cool.
I had my car aligned by a new shop, which actually works on modified cars as opposed to the regular chain tire shops. They asked me what I wanted to do with the alignment / if i wanted OEM specs and I said just do what you think is best for performance as long as it tracks straight, this is what they gave me: Good / bad? It seems to handle well and track straight
ALSO, I did the epoxy diff bushing fix. However I was only able to get any into the lower part of the bushing, not the upper part. I assume that's all that matters. Has anyone else that did this fill up both parts of the bushing?
The right side bracket can be tricky with that wire loom. Love the cusco bar. Hows it feel?
I had zero issues with install
Both sides the same
Snap ..essentially break..the loom mount from the car
Slide fsb mounts under loom and tighten to 28 ftlbs
Zip ties looms to fsb mount
Install bar
PUSH bar down heavily over the mounts while you tighten bar bolts
Done
There is a lot of play in the mount for the bar bolt. Not pushing down results in random vertical placement. Pushing down left a nice small space between engine cover and bottom of bar which will help avoid rubbing on the top.
It's feels better driving. It feels like it takes bumps with less bounce.. But who know. I also think my car rides smoother at night so... It's that sort of effect

Planned on doing all 4 wheels and calipers of course
As the day progressed I thought doing a comparison on the non treated rears was a good idea
Scrubbed down calipers and wheels and applied the mothers cmx. Everything finished very smooth slick and shiny. We will see how it holds up.
I had other responsibilities to tend to so decided against doing the rear wheels and calipers today.

Calipers and wheels turned out great. Curious to hear an update in a few weeks to see how they are repelling the brake dust.
Oh, and don't forget to clean and blacken your fender liners while you're in there. People always seem to forget about those when detailing their cars.
Drove to the alignment shop this morning and boy was it scary. Wheel was turned 90 degrees to the left to go straight and my traction control light was on the whole time. Before I installed the SPC kit my car was tracking to the left so I had to have the wheel slightly turned to the right to have it track straight. I just picked the car up and everything is basically dead on with the alignment but the car still tracks to the left. Is this still an alignment issue or could it be my tread wear. I went in for service at the dealership and they gave me this printout of my tires. Also the rear end seems completely unpredictable, any small bump or angle in the road it catches and wants to shoot out that way. Alignment before SPC Kit Alignment Today, top was driving to shop bottom is after alignment with SPC KIT Tread wear from Saturday 9/21
