Long story short, I needed new endlinks for my rear RB sway bar. The one I bought came with MP3 endlinks, but upon further inspection, it looked like the nuts that were on them had to be cut off and tore up some threads. Better safe than sorry, I ordered some new ones from Advance Auto Parts. I...

Hey I was wondering if it's possible to buy replacement glass for the p5 fog lights anywhere. Mine is broken into 10 pieces and I need to replace it. Thanks very much

I am thinking of replacing my rear calipers should the piston allen key replacement not work for me. My question is: when i remove the whole caliper assembly (meaning i'll unscrew the banjo fitting from the caliper) do i have to clamp down the break line to prevent too much fluid loss? Then...

Went to change my rear brakes yesterday. Removed the 14mm bolt that covers the allen key that controls the piston.
