    Really glad I came across this, I didn’t realize this was part of the suspension change procedure. Good to know!

    Great info as always. Thanks for posting these for those unable to attend summer camp.

      @@FlyinMiataVideo would love to see a video on installing the support bracket for installing strut braces on a ND Sport. I can't find anything anywhere an I really want to put the braces on my 2016 Sport.

    I indexed my rear ND bushings a little lower than the 13.5" FM Spring ride height. I torqued them at 13.25". Will this have a negative impact somehow? Should I re-torque at 13.5" instead or is a .25" difference not noticeable on bushings?

      @DaveSimkus With such a minor change in ride height, this would probably be ok, but the correct answer (and best practice) would be to loosen and retighten all of the suspension bushings again. The negative impacts of not indexing the bushings at the proper ride height would be mismatched ride height side to side and/or corner to corner, and premature bushing failure (though with this small ride height change, it isn't very likely).
