Also pressed out the SPL compression rod bearings and changed to SuperPro urethane bushings. I don't think anyone in the US has them yet. I ordered mine from Horsham in the UK. No noise and the car handles just as good!
Hey burgy, I need some 09+ RDX 18's for the element. Same size as the SC's but lighter, and I'll get them powder coated. Did you know that Element SC 18x7.5 wheels are 32lbs?! No wonder this thing rides like ass.
How old were the rod ends in the spl arms ? I've seen plenty of conflicting arguements on whether rod ends are actually really that loud or not, i'd think unless they are pretty worn, they wouldnt be, but im sure its possible.
I've got everything spl going under the rear of mine soon, as well as sphericals for the uprights, and considering adapting monoball pivots for the rlca and flca's, just hoping it doesnt get THAT annoying dd'n
