    Yeah I'm thinking they should be around 5-600 for coilovers. Then link the rear. ill do a cross bar over the tank for the upper links, so I can keep the stock one, to the frame. Box the frame at this location as well. Definitely going to cut existing hangers and shackles and mount my lower links to the inside of the frame, replace the trans member with a piece of 2x4x1/4. Then turbo, brakes, and cage. That's the 5 year plan

    They should, interchangeable for the dual rate emulsions if I remember correctly to really dial them in

    That is either your valve cover gasket being bad, or somewhere else. I see it up the side of the valve cover as well. Above the bolts which hold it in place. Look for the highest point that is dry.

    ill double check again today, but i think it doesnt go higher then the valve besides that little bit that came up the side. Does that typically happen this early. i only have 65,000 miles on my 07

    It happens whenever the part decides it wants to fail. My radiator went bad at 80k and my pump at 50k. But that's all that's gone bad in 165k miles of its life

    cool, im gonna clean up the area re-torque the bolts and see if it builds up again, then order a new gasket if it does. That would explain this oily area down lower on my engine, i was worried bout it but its pretty much right below that area on the same side so its gotta be drips.

    Yeah that's a minor seep. Clean, run it a few days and check where it's coming from, check fluid level as well. It could be travelling up due to wind flow in the engine compartment.
