    Tell me about those Swift springs on the Megans. What rate / length did you get? Front and rear? How's the ride compare?

    Got the carbon duck tail spoiler from Vivid Racing. The swift springs are 8" and 5k. I also put on the thrust sheets which totally cut the squeakyness out. The ride is noticeably better...in the front. Just wish they made springs for the rear...which I'm working on too.

    Any reason why you can't just use the straight spring as a replacement?

    Sorry, I thought I ask you if had the same problem? I saw a little water dripping on the small rectangular window after a wash. And some seeping thru where the aftermarket LEDs hatch panels are. Not cool..... :eek:

    If you look at your stock spoiler ( I've got no pics ) they've added weather stripping around the studs and the hole for the brake light wire. And I think there was a strip up front. Adding that to the CF spoiler took care of that problem. (y)

    I told Donny at Advan Carbon about it and I was just wondering if they fix that.

    Hmm that must be my issue as well! So your saying take the spoiler off and poke the bolt studs that's attached to the spoiler back through some type of foam weather stripping before I re attach back onto the hatch so it seals it? Would I do it on the inside as well before re installing the nut?

    I didn't add anything to the inside, just on the spoiler itself. All the places where the stock one had it.
    I'll post a pic of the weather stripping I used, when I get home from work today.

    I got it from.......... What for it......... Lowe's. :whistle:

    Wiping the car down after getting some rain in the Bay Area.

    I unlocked the doors. A few minutes later, the doors automatically locks itself.

    Did not realize my car locks itself if there is no activity after a few minutes of unlocking it.

    Duh...:D

    Looks like you should put in a tighter mesh behind that lower grill. A nice sized rock could get through those large honeycomb openings and damage your radiator.

    No, not that I remember.

    But would think it would be the same case. It would still automatically lock after all doors have been close for several minutes.
