Whiteline RCK FTW! Even with limited aggressive driving so far I can tell the front-end doesn't want to roll over on itself nearly as much anymore. Whenever I need a clutch I'll do a front anti-sway bar too and call my suspension done.

Nice. I am going to wait on this until later in the summer, don't want to realign so quickly.

What front sway you going for?

Cobb if they still have one (they're out of production and only 2 left) since it a hollow bar, otherwise Whiteline to match my rear bar & RCK.

FWIW, Cobb charged me 4.5 hours labor for the install and alignment. They also said something about the X control arms being different from the 8/9, even though they use the same RCK, making the installation more difficult.

Boo...one of my TPMS units is leaking, hopefully warranty will cover it since they're not servicable/rebuildable like most others on the market.

Backing out of my garage yesterday afternoon the idle became unstable and I threw a P0300 random misfire code. I pull the plugs for inspection and above is what I found; the insulator had broken and dropped covering the electrode. Luckily it didn't break free and fall down into the cylinder! Nobody that stocks X plugs was open yesterday, and I was a newb and threw away my factory set, so the car sat until this afternoon when a local shop (Evolution Dynamics) stopped by with fresh set for me. Pathetic for a $60 set of OEM NGK plugs with only 11k miles on them (replaced @ 25k) if you ask me. The problem is, there doesn't seem to be any good alternatives as the only choice are $30/each HKS plugs which people seem to have knock issues with.

I haven't driven the car yet, but it seems to be idling stable and normal with the new plugs.

:( Hopefully you caught it in time man, that doesn't look good. I am guessing if there was an issue your idle wouldn't be stable.

I have gone through like 4-5 sets of plugs in 30k miles, it sucks. I always replace with new setups just to make sure.

Fingers-crossed...I'm going to perform a compression test in the near future just in case. I'll also be bringing the failed plug to the dealership for documentation. Luckily nothing broke off the plug.
