Threw on the americanpandadesign badges yesterday.. they really help finish off the blacked out look. Also stopped by a local car event and finally got a good picture taken of the car.

Amazing build! Definitely looking to do a front 3.0 brake swap too. Run into any complications with the bleeding process?

Whelp. Drunk driver forced me off the road and into a curb a few months back. So far about 18kish in damages. Might be time to get it back and trade it in for a 3.0
Entire from left suspension replaced
cross member
2 radiators
front bumper
fenders
aluminum side rail repairs
strut tower
driver side wheels and tires
etc etc etc etc

Anyone in the greater Houston area have a stock 2.0 exhaust they'd like to get rid of?

Geeze! I guess they didn’t total loss the car on the insurance appraisal?

Initial quote was way lower but they keep finding more damage. STill at or below half the value of the car so it keeps going.

So sad to see and hope you're okay. This build is definitely one of my role models for what I'd like my car to be like. Hoping for the best.

Goodbye 2.0! Got the car back a week ago and have already put it back to stock. Found a low mile black 2020 premium 3.0 and made a deal on it. Should be picking it up and handing over the 2.0 today. For those wondering the final bill on repairs was 21.5k and im working with them to get one more tire replaced

INB4 just buy a 3.0
Nothing special here just a 2.0 daily driver "build". Though I did want to post some information for those who might search the forums for 2.0 help as there just isn't a ton out there. Posted information today about my 3.0 brake install today but figured it would be lost and berried in no time.

Notes that may help future / current 2.0 owners.

3.0 brake swap is super simple and bolts right up to factory 2.0 caliper holes. Must use 3.0 rotors as they are larger both in width and diameter. These rotors are also directional - Arrow on the hub faces towards the front of the car and the veins inside the rotors should be swooped back towards the rear of the car.

3.0 Exhausts all fit on a 2.0 in terms of hangar location. The problem is the connection to the downpipe. See picture # 3... 3.0 cars use a slip on style connection... 2.0 use a horrid ball and socket design. There are currently two ways to handle this 1. Is to cut off your factory style connection and the 3.0 exhaust shorted to accept the 2.0 connection welded on. (this is what i did) 2. Have a exhaust shop / fab guy modify your downpipe to turn it into a slip on style. Also beware that you need some space to change the downpipe fitting... the remark exhaust splitter location made it a bit rough. Though other exhausts like ARK / tomei give you plenty of space.

MSS springs fit the 2.0 perfectly though it seems that the HKS adjustable springs do not fit with our shocks. Word on the street is that the MSS rears are easy to adjust but that was not the case for me lol.

Question on the Mss lowering springs, installing it did it show any difference right away especially on the rear? Because mine is almost maxed out but its still 3-4 fingers gap. Is it normal and settles after a few days or weeks?
