I make a point to pick on the WRXs with the red mudflaps.

Sprayed down the front LCA and sway bar bushings with WD-40 Specialist Silicone spray. Seems to have alleviated my low-speed turn creaking.

I didn't even know this video existed but this is why I still haven't gotten rokblokz (in black, to boot)

Time to make some brass or aluminum inserts for the vise.

Time to make some brass or aluminum inserts for the vise.

Would be nice, all of my vises need soft jaws but I don’t own a mill.

The end game is to buy a positioner, possibly at the end of the year

You need a set made in the meantime, just ask.

You could start with an aluminum one in the mean time.

Even buying a brass bar and bolting it to the jaws would be an improvement. Onlinemetals have a 1.25" x .5" x 12" for around $50.

Building full scope and quotes for installing new dampers and front camber mounts so I can budget for it.

Now to decide between Koni Special Active or Bilstein B6 to clean up the stock suspension.

Was leaning toward the Special Actives because variable damping is very appealing to smooth out daily driving and firm up hard cornering. However, I'm not clear on how the technology works when BOTH high-frequency and low-frequency movements are happening at the same time -- e.g. hitting a bump (or multiple bumps) while cornering hard.

I can't answer how it works in that scenario because I drive like I am twice my age, but I love my Special Actives for daily duty and they have worked really well on my commute and some spirited driving. Note that Koni doesn't recommend any aftermarket springs with these since they need the full travel to do their magic. I had EMD springs on my stock dampers for about 50k miles before I wasn't liking the ride anymore, so these were a huge upgrade to comfort after that and still have that "sporty" damper feel.

Thanks for that review. I do plan to keep stock springs.
