Nothing at all. I just don't like the peddle stiffness and I didn't like the engagement. Hard to explain exactly but just a personal preference thing. It held my power no problem.

Love my RST! So much better than the Spec I had in there

I don't have a problem with the engagement on mine but the pedal stiffness is a bitch when you're in stop-n-go traffic.

Tried to locate the source of the squeak in the rear suspension to no avail. Ended up spraying lithium grease where the parking brake cables come in contact with the LCA's in hopes that it's the source of the noise. I won't be that lucky.

Ordered GT500 Strut Mounts so that I can finally install my STR.T's, Steeda Sports and Freedom Racing Adj PH Bar. I hesitate to install this shit on my own (well, with my son who is a mechanic) but I'm too cheap and proud to let anyone else do it.

If you haven't already, make sure all your bushings in the rear are greased up good. Then check to make sure the locking nuts aren't touching anything. I had a nasty squeak for a while and found a lock nut on my LCAs was touching something. Turned that bolt a little bit and the squeak was gone.

The install is actually pretty easy once you break the bolts loose. I did it with my dad (neither of us are mechanics) and it took maybe 5-6 hours total from pulling into the garage to finishing the test drive, including a break for lunch. A breaker bar, a torque wrench, and spring compressors are your key tools. Enjoy the time working with your son and good luck.

got it inspected and realized how dirty it got from getting caught in the rain while at my son's baseball game Wednesday.
