I'm glad this thread exists. We replaced our battery with an Interstate from Costco shortly after we bought our 2017 Sport (June 2021). I had a hard time believing that we needed a new one already but I bought the Topdon tester that's linked in this thread and tested it. Turns out it is bad so I'll be heading to Costco this evening to snag an Interstate H7. My symptoms were the Battery Saver screen popping up after just sitting on ACC for less than 5 minutes and lately, my wife has gotten in to leave for work after the car sat for 2 days and we've had to jump it.

Bringing this thread back up. I love the lowered look but the ride is kind of annoying. I know it will be different than stock but I have a noise that, if resolved, I can live with everything else. Whenever I'm on a rough road or go over speed bumps, there is a clunk in the rear end. It sounds like when my old car had broken sway bar end links in the front end but this noise is in the back. I replaced the rear sway bar end links when I installed the springs and new shocks. I've jacked it up and checked bolts and looked for marks that show something is hitting something and I haven't found anything. Has anyone else had this? How do I fix it?

Well it finally happened. I got home Friday and the cover was missing. I think it was blown off in the touchless carwash. It only took like 15 trips through it. I ordered a used one on Ebay but it's white so I'm going to try to wrap it in in black carbon fiber vinyl. We'll see how that looks. @omar302, do you have the file for this in the instructions? 1. Lower the headliner. Refer to: Headliner ­ Lowering (501­05 Interior Trim and Ornamentation, Removal and Installation).

I would try a wash and hand polish. I use mostly Adam's Polishes and have used this product before so that's my suggestion. Any light polish should work though. https://adamspolishes.com/products/adam-s-revive-fine-hand-car-polish?_pos=1&_sid=25c2bdc8d&_ss=r

I've searched on here and on Google and can't really find what I'm looking for. I'm trying to hard wire a dashcam that came with fuse taps. It has one tap for an ignition source for regular duty and then one for constant for parking mode. I see a lot of unused fuses in this breakdown. Is there somewhere that will tell me which of these are ignition and which are constant? I assume these spares are hot? If not, what should I use that is hot.

Does this say there is a new oil pan? With a built in gasket? I was just going to deal with the leaking pan since it's been replaced at least twice but if there's a better replacement now, I might have to call. I see the Warranty Status section but I don't understand it. Do you know if this covers anything with the issue? I just hit 69k miles on a 2017

I wouldn't try. I got a spring compressor kit from Harbor Freight for $35 and it worked perfectly.

I love it. Except I hit my head on the hatch now even with the top point saved. I live in Indianapolis so not many twisty roads but I'm 30 seconds from Carmel, the city of roundabouts so I get my need for twisties from those. It is much more flat ripping through roundies!

Installed B6 Springs and Struts and H&R lowering springs. It's not super low but way better

Moving to the rear. I found the following on rear subframe replacement as I've read dropping the subframe makes rear spring replacement easier. I don't need to completely remove the subframe so the workshop manual section has a lot of extra steps. Do I just need to remove the shocks, put a jack under the diff and mark and remove the 4 bolts from the first part of the workshop manual, and lower it slightly to pull out the springs?

Thank you! That is very helpful. I ordered everything suggested/available from Tire Rack/RockAuto hoping I could assembly the new struts before I take everything apart but it looks like I'll reuse some rubber seats and other small items from the stock set up.

@Haz, can you share the strut info from the workshop manual? Would that be different than the Haynes manual? I know it won't be the exact same as the Bilstein strut by hopefully it's the same components.

Does anyone have a video or pictures that show how to assemble B6 struts with H&R springs? I think I ordered everything I needed but I can't make things fit together how I would expect them to. I found the link below but it's H&R Springs on stock struts. I can't find anything that lists the other parts that are needed to complete a strut. I have the Haynes Manual and it shows stock struts but it still seems like something is missing. Below is what I have. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wQ3WRD6zvzHaAbxE3hCZpyKIwbBI3-Gs/view

Mine hasn't broken off completely but I think the only screws that haven't broken are along the back. I don't want to do all of the work to remove the unit so I might just break it off the rest of the way and carefully epoxy it back on. I have looked around on here to see this situation and never found it. I wish I could just buy the cover but I don't think it's sold separately.

This thing is sweet! What part of Indiana are you in? I recognize IRP in a few of those pictures. Also, since this is bagged now, what are you doing with those H&R springs?!
