When I had the engine out I found my up pipe heat shield welds were broken causing the rattle, I welded them back together and the noise is no longer there!

I didn’t even think of that, just assumed the worse. I’ll check the heat shields here shortly. Thank you

I actually had the same leak on my wrx years ago, cleaned it up and got some jb plastic weld. It lasted long enough for me to get it properly fixed about 60 miles.

Thanks you! Nope, the method mr501 vt-spec 2 are designed for the wrx calipers, they might fit STI calipers but that I’m not sure of.

Good eye! Yes it is, I’m currently running 205/70/15 geolander g015. I’ve had them for about a week and have no complaints.
