Rear bumper delete! Actually waiting on custom made tips. They should be here next week. The system sounds the same all the way to 3k rpm then its comes alive. Sound clip coming. Have to get the Go Pro ready and deal with wind proofing the microphone. I'll do a quick iPhone video tomorrow when it won't bother the neighbors.

It was really really easy. I thought you had to take the whole thing apart, but the CF bonded pieces just snap over the "door" on the front of the cup holder. Once you get the cup holder assemble out it is really straight forward. There is a good thread on here on how to do that, only difference was I used a 4mm allen/hex key not the 5/32nd he mentions.
I got my new parts from MA Carbon. Great to work with and called me right away when I had a question.
While not cheap, if yours is as bad as mine was, it is worth it. I did keep my original parts as I am going to try fixing them with contact cement to just have a spare set.
Picked up SW center delete from Raudidriver Swapped for my RSS just because the rss was beat up. Wanted cleaner looking. Also made the valves permanently open which is so much better.
I finally got my car aligned after re-powder coating my sway bars and reinstalling them, etc. Now I’m starting to chase down a long standing brake squeal with my front PCCBs.
First I checked the torque on all the bobbin springs that hold the rotor to the hat, and few of them were loose. Tighten them up, also removed and reinstalled the brake pads (9.5mm remain) and verified the pucks were in good condition. I went for a test drive… they used to squeal every time I applied light pressure, now they only squeal with light pressure after everything is warmed up. The chase continues.
Anyone got any suggestions for what I should try next?
You should try flipping your pads every 10k, they do not wear tapered on the leading edge. Not sure if this is related but worth checking. Also make sure you have pads for pccb and not steel installed.
