They are going to pay me when I show them the receipt for the parts. My service guy I deal with at the dealership is too cool to d!ck me over like that.

<---this has absolutly nothing to do with my post. ANYWAYS, I don't even have a rubber shock mount there lol - i lost it a while ago when i took my cai off to install brass shifter bushings and just placed a big washer there. Thanks for the reminder.

thanks, im guessin mine is oiled cause i have an aem intake, and it looks like you also have one haha... but yea thanks for the help

Picked up front calipers, pads, rotors, and braided stainless lines for $100 from a local DSMer.

I'm ditching the pads in favor of some EBC reds, but hope to use everything else. The rotors were already turned, too.

it should tell you if it's a wet or dry filter and yes if it's an oil filter it needs to be oiled lightly and evenly after you clean it. this provides a surface protection to trap dust particles...

Jus get a recharge kit from K&N. Clean it with the liquid provided and let it dry up. Oil it, its good for the filter but do OVER OIL it. Jus spray it a little around the whole thing. Let it again dry for a few hours and install it. Note when u let it dry and there's oil dripping after u oil'd it, then u over oil'd it.
