Coated the wheels to attempt blocking brake dust from caking onto them.

Alignment on the car. With the rear subframe lock down bolts installed the subframe shifted and needed to be rechecked. Went on a drive Sunday and found that the tires still rolled slightly onto the side so an increase in camber was called for. The rear was increased in proportion. Toe in rear originally was 0.0 but shifted when the front was touched. One of the ABS sensors was bumped in the process and had to be replaced today.
Polished the entire car out. The replacement door and the wingless trunk had some blemishes and needed a good buff. We will see in the sun tomorrow but the deep scratches are no longer in existence which is a plus. Then we cut some vinyl numbers for Sunday. Logged the car on the way home to have Travis give a good look over it!

Today I wire brushed and repainted a couple bolts there were a bit too rusted.

Car Info: STI Hatch - 2012
Installed Super Pro 24 mm front sway bars and endlinks. Not sure if I like the Super Pro front Endlinks. Already had 22 mm Rear Super Pro sway bars and end links.
Part Numbers:
24 mm front Swaybar (Super Pro - RC0013FZ-24)
Front Endlinks (Super Pro - TRC4142)
Is it supposed to be like these when the car is lifted up (suspension on full droop?) Looks like the bushing is gonna pop out (the bolts / nuts are tight).
Looks fine though when the car is flat on the ground
followed instructions to the T
