I have tried everything on my Energy swaybar bushings over the years. Only one thing works for me -- clean off all the lube and run them dry. No squeaks, and the wear actually went down, since they weren't getting grit stuck in the grease/lube/teflon/anti-sieze.Originally posted by RedApe
Back end up on stands, and re-greased the Energy Suspension bushings on the Steeda RSB this afternoon. Like EVERY other set of Poly's I've ever run, the squeak comes back about every 2-3 weeks. Meh.
The best part of life isn't around the corner. It IS the corner.
I always wanted TDR wheels but I hate the name engraved in the lip of it. Just reminds me of core racing wheels.
Well that's gonna be bright
Look forward to seeing some pics should look good either way!

Honestly we all know that intakes don't make power on turbocharged engines so it's more about changing up the looks of the engine bay. I hated all the plastic and this cast aluminum piece breaks up the dearth of black plastic surrounding the engine and that intake piece is a piece of cheap and ugly plastic. The sound is a little louder with the filter and cast aluminum not insulating sound like plastic. For most people it's probably a waste of money as there's really no performance gains but I'm okay with that.Originally posted by RedApe

you've seen my car before, I got the TDR without the name on the lip.Originally posted by eglove

one of the vendors on focusst.org can order them in special without the name engraved on the edge (that's what I did)
see attached picture (ignore the brake dust).
Cobb Stage 0 now running, and I have the Stage 1 (OTS) on the AP (haven't used yet).
Stratified base map should be arriving Monday, and tweaking to come over the next few weeks.
