Default Do you have any nominations for updates to the 2IS FAQ and DIY Thread?

If you haven't read the 2IS FAQ and DIY thread please click here.


We are again taking nominations for links for threads that are not already listed that you have found most helpful, or you see being asked over and over again. Also for exceptional DIY (do it yourself) threads you have posted or read on the forum.

If you recall & have multiple links for answers the same question, please post them and I'll merge the threads and use the new link for the FAQ.

You must post a URL in order to nominate a thread for the FAQ please (not just a topic). Multiple URLs on the same topic are OK as well as we'll consider merging them into a 'master thread'.

is there any way to make the wording for the FAQ link bigger or different from the other sticky(make it stick out more)? cause newbies always skip over the FAQ and make threads without reading the FAQ.

as for suggestions

differences between 06-08 and 09+

Unfortunately no way to do that (wish there were). We could put stars around it though if there is room.


Thanks for the nominations and links folks, keep 'em coming.

Hey DaveGS4, could you please edit this thread to mention that you not only need to order the damper, but two (2) screws (part #90159-50199) as well? It is mentioned, but not the exact number you need.

Could we merge these threads on painting calipers?

Thanks. =)

I only ordered one screw, so until my 2nd one comes in, it's just held in there with one. =)
