So...you got a DUI and now a ticket for cutting a cop off? Oh boy is your insurance going to like you. Atleast if you get a good lawyer a DUI is something a police officer must carefully go about and follow procedure...and most don't.
Btw if my premium going up this year I am going to blame it on you!

But thanks for assuming?

Went to Group 2 and started checking parts. They seem fine, and properly installed. One big difference is that it takes lots more torque to rotate the front coilover in the pillow ball mount than it does the stock strut/mount - you can spin the stock top mount with your finger.
The verdict is that the parts (ball joints, tie rod ends, camber plates) are just tight and will loosen up some over time, but the pillow ball will never rotate as freely as the stock mount (until it wears out!).
So, they put it back together and I'll drive it a while see what happens. The car handles great, but the steering feel is degraded. Maybe I'll get used to it, if all you eat is dog food you eventually think it tastes good!
Thanks to codgi, dbsears, and jid2 for their comments & suggestions.

.In any case be interesting to see how it turns out. So far, 2010 is looking good for auto x/track but you never know what needs to be remodeled/upgraded with a condo so.....
Wheels finally came in!! Sucks I lost my phone so I didnt know they had arrived until I got home so I'm still a week away from putting them on since I have to order tires now 
But whats another week after 3 months right?! Now only if FedEx would unFAIL themselves with my 02 housing and fuel pump!

I have seen them crack rather fast and i have seen them take a while to crack. It is all luck of the draw. If it were me i would sell it and find a ported cast manifold.
You should be happy with it until it breaks. Its not like it is a bad manifold just **** to cracking due to the fact that it is tubular and even more so because it is a cheaply made one. It should make the same power that a ported one will.
word! hopefully its later rather than sooner! At least it will look sexeh for a couple days before cracking in its black powder coat
I was trying to navigate through the tire section....without much luck.... anyone running 18x9.5+30 that ran into rubbing issues? putting 255/35's on them so i may be rollin rollin rollin
