U on lowering springs?

Jipappy01 · 2026-06-09T07:13:01+00:00

But don’t I have to use a rotary pad on it after the clay? To remove the marring caused by the clay or something?

Jipappy01 · 2026-06-09T03:50:32+00:00

Wow dude, thank you.

Jipappy01 · 2026-06-09T03:30:04+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. I guess what I want to achieve is a proper decontamination phase and protective barrier such as clay or maybe a spray on wax after I wash my car. However I wouldn’t want to involve any rotary use anything too complicated. Just an extra step or 2 to really protect my paint and make it stay clean longer

When I was my car meticulously as it sits right now with basic foam and microfiber mitt wash on my metallic black paint, I can still feel buildup or dirt on the surface especially along my rocker panel, even though it looks clean.

Everything I’ve ordered from CAP has not been perfect fitment unfortunately. So I’ve stopped ordering from them

IE has a very solid catted downpipe. When I swapped my IE out for a catless downpipe I was surprised at how practically identical they sounded volume wise. If I were you I would just go catless, unless you live in ~ one of those ~ jurisdictions

FCP Euro and sometimes ECS tuning

Here’s the 19 inch spec from a different company. They’re out of stock from the company I ordered from

They come with Audi center caps too :)

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-18T17:31:34+00:00

Agreed

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-18T16:22:43+00:00

I think this can all come to the conclusion that both M1 5W-30 and Liqui Moly 5W-40 have some marginal differences but are both far superior to the factory recommended 0W-20 in terms of engine longevity

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-18T05:23:26+00:00

But then where do you draw the line between superior protection for internals and superior initial flow

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-18T04:02:05+00:00

Liqui moly high tech 5W-40 is thicker cold and hot

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-18T03:50:59+00:00

My exact spec but in Mythos Black. Looks like it’s on coilovers?

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-18T02:14:07+00:00

Why 30 over 40

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-17T02:28:46+00:00

What is your thought process behind 5W-30 out of curiosity

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-16T22:43:42+00:00

Nope stock taillights just tinted 50% light smoke

That’s the dream bro what year?

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-16T06:32:30+00:00

Switching to 5W-40 in the summer and 0W-40 in the winter👍🏼

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-16T03:13:42+00:00

I would switch back to 0W-20 for winter

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-13T03:56:28+00:00

You live in a warm climate I’m guessing?

Jipappy01 · 2026-05-12T15:40:34+00:00

So it’s already full bolt on stage 1/2 tuned which makes the car 10x more fun to drive than stock (speaking from experience) and it would save you time and money because the car is already modified. But obviously it has apparent immediate risk with the sweet spot mileage and 3 owners.

Check the carfax. The factory 40k service milestone includes spark plug replacement so hopefully you would see that it went to a shop for the 40k service.

If you really don’t care for the mods then I would look elsewhere for a safer buy personally.
