I'll take this. PM incoming

Those are referred to as the "bacon strips" and means the battery is heating... Although I don't think it should heat if you are not preconditioning the cabin, unless it is really cold out (like 10F I would guess).

I have a video I'm not sure I should post.. I was doing a "dragy" 1/4 mile run on a highway in my S4 which trapped ~125mph. Towards the end of the run, my Escort Max 360 went off. I braked around 120mph, with the detector still blaring. I came around the bend ahead, State Trooper on my side...

Ride height is exactly 27" fender to ground all around. Stock was 28.5" front and 28" rear.

They were torqued at height. Like mentioned, not mad, just expected some ridiculous Cadillac like ride given the reviews. I did the install. I do this a lot, and have probably installed upwards of 500 sets of coilovers/springs/etc. I torqued every single bolt to spec, and at height. Both...

I have two sets of wheels/tires for the car. 19x9.5 with 265/35/19 Michelin AS3+ and 18x9.5 with 245/45/18 Blizzak LM001. The Blizzaks are on the car at the moment, but overall I'm pretty unhappy with those tires in general. I have a straight piped diesel truck with 35" mud tires and I swear...

Threads on Porsche center locks are VERY different than the thick threads on these coilovers. Also powder coating is VERY different that two light coats of spray paint.

I guess I'll update with my review while I'm here. I switched from Eibach Springs to MPP Non Adjustable Comfort coilovers. I won't say I'm completely disappointed, but I will say I am slightly underwhelmed. I feel almost no difference in ride quality. Larger bumps are still ROUGH. No...

Putting a load of paint or thick undercoating maybe, this had zero effect. Collars still spin easily by hand. Yes, they are already installed. What did you think would be the "big no no" here?

Yea I ended up buying them as I boogered up the threads on the rear links when I initially installed the sway bars and it drove me nuts. I just got done the install actually. I enjoyed being able to take static load off of the swaybar with the adjustable links.

Thanks! And agreed, I did not need the adjustability of the more expensive version but really wanted the stainless benefit. This isn't as good as SS, but should hold up pretty well given I did it while they were brand new.

Received my MPP Non Adjustables a few days ago. I wanted to go a step further to protect against Western Pennsylvania rust given these do not have the stainless bodies. I taped off all labeled stickers, shock pistons and dustboots, etc and hit them with some black engine enamel. I think they...

Bump, my offer is still on the table if you'll ship stuff :)
