Shop confirmed the coilovers were good and did not leak, retorqued everything and clunking wasnt as bad. Only thing i noticed significantly were my brakes. Brake fade affected the whole experience and after the spirited run i noticed a horrible screeching and humming noise while in motion at slow speeds but disappears when brakes are applied. Assuming i ruined my rotors or pads or both at this moment. Also wondering if anyone in this forum can assist me on adjusting my rear coilovers, would like to raise it a bit.

BTW i acquired a set of intrax prodrive coilovers, from one of our old school members.

Installed TWM shifter and the bushings that go in the shifter by TiC.. Now it has an inch of side to side play each way because the TiC bushings fit very very loosely. going to put the old ones until I hear back from TiC if its something wrong or the TWM just has a big hole or I'm missing something.

*update* I received the 5mt bushings by accident in the holy shift kit. The right ones are already on their way.. Super great customer service by TiC.
