Koni's application guild had me all confused. Called their tech line yesterday. For the MS3 2010+ the rear shock bushing is 35mm. I measured my 2012 5 bushing yesterday and it's 50mm. Which, is the same as the MS3 07-09. Unfortunately, there is no STR.T application for the MS3 07-09 rears...

Just did that. The only specifics that the Tech could give was that the 54 uses a 50mm rear shock bushing and the and the 53 is a 35mm bushing. Got to go measure I guess.

Ok now I'm confused... Koni says the FSD kit for the 2010+ MS3 is the same kit for the 2010+ M5. But for the Sport, it lists a different rear 8040 1354Sport for the M5 and 8040 1353Sport for the MS3.

Koni-na has an Koni Sport application for the 2012+ (8040 1354Sport) but there is a fitment note. It says... "If rear shock bottom bushing is 35mm wide, use 8040 1353Sport" Anyone know which to order. The 05-09 Sport application list the 8040 1354Sport.

There are my RE760s after 24000mi. Just rotated them to the rear. Rotation was done every 8000mi. Alignment was done on the same day of installation.

Most likely an alignment issue. Just need to find the sweet spot between wear and handling. The RE760 is a pretty soft tire so some might say 24k is decent. I'll post some pics when I get the car back from the dealer. Might try some Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 next.

I am getting the same wear pattern on both front tires. Switched from the OEM toyos at 11k miles to bridgestone RE760s. Did alignment at the same time. Fronts set to toe out just a bit and zero'd the toe in the rear. All suspension is stock with the exception of rear sway bar. Killed the...

I think it is still lifetime. There is no mention of it in the scheduled maintenance section of the manual. Scheduled Maintenance

Mainland. Haha you'd think Japan -> Hawaii would be cheaper for them (uhm). But goes from Japan -> US Mainland -> Hawaii. Not enough volume I guess.

Thinking I may try Koni STR.T shocks. With the koni sale $366.20 shipped to Hawaii. Going to pair these with H&R sport springs. Would love to get bilstein mono tubes but $$ is to much for a DD. FSD cannot be used with springs. And, I just dont want to deal with the adjustables especially...

Good News! Dealership called and said it's the Transmission Control Module. Covered under the Powertrain Warranty. Non-stocking item of course. Being in Hawaii, it's not going to get here until Tuesday.

Says no code were found. I'm suspicious about that as well. Especially since my wife and I have been discussing this. I described to her what lights were indicator lights were on i.e. Stability Control and AT and she said that the Stability Control light has been going on/off and on for a...

Stealership just called. Said seems like it may be a canbus issue. Different modules not taking to each other. Tons of codes being thrown. Forgot to mention in my original post that on the way to the dealership this morning the Stability Control light was going crazy and the Automatic Trans...

Document that I signed there had an est of $0. They called me back to say that I would have to pay $145 if it is found not to be powertrain related. I mentioned the whole "It's the same problem I had a few weeks ago" but was told that the check engine light is on now so that's a different problem.

I hope so. Stealership already charging me $145 for diagnostics.

Argh! (bang) The engineers couldn't have timed it better. 500 miles out of warranty and the check engine light goes on. A few weeks back we took our 2012 5 in because my wife said the car lunged a few times after coming to a stop. This was at 35940ish miles. Dealer said couldn't find...
