Went to change the engine oil and found the underside of the car looking like this! Had a slight panic attack. Turned out to be transmission oil leaking from the axle seal. I checked for weeks after the springs install and saw no leak, but I guess I did nick the seal. Pretty common, so make sure you check if you did coilovers or springs.

Tore apart the front suspension, pulled out the axle and replaced the axle seal, swapped in AC Delco trans fluid, and took the opportunity to pull the strut pins this weekend

Pic for fun

Do people pull the strut pins even if you’re not tracking the car? Any negatives to doing it?

You'll only get about -2 degree of camber at most which is fine for street driving. negatives would be that you will feel some more tramlining from the car and maybe a tiny more tire wear. And don't forget to get an alignment.

how do you like it so far? great build quality/price point/sound from clips I've heard so definitely a solid option for those who don't want the 3 tips

Not today but the other day while hanging out at my friends wrap shop they convinced me to try pinstripes, wasn’t originally going to but once they were done they’ve slowly began to grown on me. Def helps mine stand out
