    Mark might be the only person I’ve ever seen line up the yellow dot with the valve stem. In my shop we’ve mounted a set where 2 we’re like that and 2 we’re randomly placed and the random ones actually balanced out better - so we all stopped caring about those dots.

    There's a company that makes an oil filter adapter/relocator for the 2arfe. Would highly recommend. It would allow you to run an oil cooler and have more oil capacity. I put a big ol wix on my 2011 camry and it got the job done 😂💯

    Try running an 8k front 6k rear setup to reduce the oversteer sketchiness. You're running a fwd spring rate setup. Or you may want to play with spring rates to get it more neutral.

    This is Ben- I really have always just seen it as another spot for oil to potentially leak. Always just spin it off like a regular oil filter, both on my MR2 and Tundra. With a drop pan it seems superfluous to use the drain plug.
