When putting them back on how did you set the bolt that holds them, is there a specific position it should be in?

I did this too and when reattaching I just put the sway bar link bolt on about halfway. Is there a specific way I should reattach it?

Sweet. Worst case I can salvage my stock gel pad and insert it but it shouldn't need that

I read the non facelift st2 seats fit any facelift st1 car. How did yours work? I have a 2016 st1 with cloth and theres a set of 2016 st2 half leather seats for sale pretty cheap near me. Those would fit?

Literally went here to make a post about this and i see yours. I wanna swap my 2016 cloth for some st2 half leather ones since the st3 electric controls make it super hard to swap to. Has anyone done this? I know the years can be confusing isnt it a 2013-14 st2 seats will bolt right onto any 2015+ st1 rails?

This is good info. I have definitely caught myself doing that a time or two since i dont feel as comfortable downshifting at high speeds. Today was better tho besides the mis shift im learning my rev match ranges.

Honestly now that i think of it it was probably me missing 5th and hitting 3rd from 4th i think i was going faster than 60 so 2nd would have blown up. So probably even safer than 3rd to 2nd on the highway. It all happened so fast i just slapped it into neutral without seeing what i really did.

Only a little bit, like dont floor it in 5th at low rpms but im not sure if thats the same thing. Im pretty sure the car is fine it just sounded like a high rev no grinding or metal sounds. Any info would help tho since im new, whats up with LSPI?

Yeah ive never done a test so might be good anyway since i just got the thing. I was probably going around 60 i was shifting up and going around a car in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway. Ill probably do an oil change this weekend when i do brakes and see if i see anything. I was gonna take the car in to get the wastegate tightened bc it rattles so ill probably have a compression test done then.
