    Wheel weights

    Like others above mentioned, definitely clean the barrel prior to going to the tire store. I don't even trust them to dismount and remount the wheels so I bring them in off the vehicle.

    Looking for some help from the experts

    Yep, get rings and make sure you torque the lug nuts as much as possible with the tire off the ground. I will get roughly 80 lb ft off the ground before letting a small amount of the vehicle's weight on the tire to then finish to the desired torque. This step avoids the possibility of the...

    Almost time to replace 21" Pirellis any recommendation?

    Adding weight is part of the process, but many shops skip an important step: road force. On our tires, 2.5–3 oz is starting to get up there.

    Catch Can and Oil Change Interval Question

    Are you E50 all the time? If so I'd go no more than 5k intervals. You could always test for dilution if you are curious how far you can push it. Ethanol can knock down viscosity a bit. Catch cans can offer cleaner intake air and for vehicles with only DI help a bit with carbon deposits back...

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    This has converted me from thinking 22 to 21. I like the added sidewall and feel the 21" is more balanced to the vehicle.

    My 2025 ST ...step 1

    Very nice! Did the wheels come with a 70.5 hub center? Are those the F2 or F3 concave?

    25 Agate Black Metallic

    Rear Sway Bar End Links

    Unless you are extremely low and need to correct bar angle, sticking with stock is fine.
