Productive weekend - replacement tranny cooler is in, MAF sensor cleaned, AEM Dryflow filter cleaned & oil changed. She gets inspected tomorrow.
I noticed the Whiteline Com C top-hat rubber is starting to crack again. I have a feeling WL will not send a new pair for free a 2nd time around so I'm debating just going back to OEM style top-hats. Are there any other options besides OEM or KYB? Group N appears to only fit older WRXs & Foresters. I don't need solid top-hats but would like something a little "sportier"
Edit/Update to my question: Found top hats by a company called Pedders (Model #585113). They appear similar to the Com C hats in that they're offset. Some cursory research on other forums indicates they have a different bearing mounting geometry to avoid the binding/popping issue of the WLs as well as a less harsh ride. Might try them out
