Installed the EuroSport strut tower brace this morning. No pictures as it's a painfully easy install. So far minor to mild notice on the street, but I can have a little more fun in the round-a-bout now.

Winter wheel swap.

Bremmer Kraft BR16s. 17x8" ET45. Tires are Michelin X-ice 225/45/17. I have 10mm spacers on the front and 15mm on the rear. I have a lot of distance between the spokes and the caliper on the front and could probably drop down to a 5-6mm spacer but we'll see.

I had an odd tapping/rub noise that was rotational. When first inspected yesterday, I didn't find any signs of anything touching/scraping but I was losing daylight. I went out this morning and found the issue. The RF wheel has a strip of 7 wheel weights on it. For whatever reason, they are making ever so slight contact with the caliper. I rotated the rear wheel that only has 2 weights on it to the front and the problem disappeared. I'll have to take the wheel back to Discount Tire and have them re-balance it so that it doesn't need so many weights in a row.

Actually got to drive it today and really experience the superpro rsb and eurosport front strut brace on a longer highway drive with some good sweeping ramps.

I still haven't gotten around to the rear xbrace, really excited to do it.
